Tries to show that the pessimism about the American economy is unfounded, that the economy has, in fact, been working better than ever. With jargon and graphs aimed to persuade, the book claims the following are not true: American's living standards have been falling; both adults have to work to maintain a good standard of living; American workers are no longer as productive as they once were; and, as companies ship manufacturing jobs overseas, the U.S. is left with inferior service jobs.
