The Two-Income Trap
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Senator Elizabeth Warren and consultant Amelia Warren Tyagi, the classic book about America's middle class -- and why economic security remains out of reach for many. In this exposé, Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi show that modern middle-class families are increasingly trapped by the grinding reality of flat wages and rising costs. Warren and Tyagi reveal how a ferocious bidding war for housing and education has silently engulfed America's suburbs, driving up the cost of keeping families in the middle class, and placing unprecedented pressure on hard-working families. Revolutionary when it was first published in 2003, The Two-Income Trap remains disturbingly relevant today. Now with a new introduction by the authors, The Two Income Trap shows why the usual remedies won't solve the problem and points toward the policy changes that would create better opportunities for both parents and children.

A Fighting Chance
An unlikely political star tells the inspiring story of the two-decade journey that taught her how Washington really works — and really doesn’t. As a child in small-town Oklahoma, Elizabeth Warren yearned to go to college and then become an elementary school teacher — an ambitious goal, given her family’s modest means. Early marriage and motherhood seemed to put even that dream out of reach, but fifteen years later she was a distinguished law professor with a deep understanding of why people go bankrupt. Then came the phone call that changed her life: could she come to Washington DC to help advise Congress on rewriting the bankruptcy laws? Thus began an impolite education into the ba...
Summary of Elizabeth Warren & Amelia Warren Tyagi's All Your Worth
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 All Your Worth is about getting your money in balance. It consists of three categories: your must-haves, your savings, and your wants. When you get your money in balance, your money worries disappear. #2 The old financial advice that you are in trouble because you buy too much stuff is completely wrong. For many people, it is impossible to take on a mortgage that is more than they can afford. #3 The rules were different in your parents’ generation. The government strictly regulated the banking industry, which meant that the amount of interest a lender could charge was tightly limited. As a result, banks had to be very careful to lend money only to people who could comfortably pay them back. #4 The new rules of money are very different from the old rules. You can’t count on the mortgage lender, the car dealer, or the landlord to protect you. You have to protect yourself by getting your money in balance.

The Persistence of Poverty in the United States
For more than thirty years, students, scholars, and policymakers have relied on successive editions of Sar A. Levitan's Programs in Aid of the Poor. Now, in conjunction with the eighth edition of that classic work, coauthors Garth Mangum, Stephen Mangum, and Andrew Sum offer a brief but comprehensive overview of the facts of poverty in the United States, its underlying causes, and the reasons for its persistence in the richest nation in the world. Providing a wealth of data and cogent analysis, this book can be used along with Programs for additional background, or can stand on its own. "This volume demonstrates more starkly than its parent the persistence of poverty in this nation. Though some individuals and families manage to escape it, the phenomenon diminishes not at all—or at least very little . . . Having been sobered by this thought, the student may ponder what more might conceivably be done to reduce the incidence of that endemic economic and social disease."—from the Preface

The University of Michigan loses $2.8 million on athletics despite averaging 110,000 fans at each home football game.
