All Together Now

More about the book

The book addresses pressing economic and social challenges in contemporary America, such as job loss, health care access, and income inequality. Jared Bernstein critiques the prevailing YOYO (you're-on-your-own) approach of government, which shifts risks onto individuals while benefiting the wealthy. He advocates for a collaborative WITT (we're-in-this-together) strategy, offering practical initiatives to address issues like globalization and employment without increasing national spending. Bernstein emphasizes the power of collective action to create a more equitable society, asserting that solutions are attainable.
