In The American Dream: Why It's Still Alive...And How to Achieve It, author Alexander Green extols America's exceptionalism. He underscores its unmatched economic dominance, technological innovation, and cultural influence, highlighting the importance of American ideals and the nation's capacity to provide upward mobility and prosperity to its citizens.
Green stresses that economic success in the U.S. is attainable through education, hard work, saving, and investing. He provides an action plan for achieving financial independence, with information on maximising income, reducing expenses, saving, and investing wisely.
In this book, readers will find detailed insights on:
- Motivating economic trends, such as the fact that the percentage of U.S. households earning more than $100K has increased significantly since 1980.
- Why the U.S. remains a land of opportunity due to a robust economy, leading global companies, and significant contributions to science and technology.
- The life-enhancing value of embracing “Radical Responsibility.”
- Why we are living in a new “Golden Age” for investors.
- How to shorten the road to financial independence by embracing "The World's Simplest Investment Portfolio."
The American Dream: Why It's Still Alive...And How to Achieve It earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all ambitious individuals seeking long-term financial prosperity―and to experience the ultimate feeling of earned success.
