CHESTERTOWN, MD— Millions of Americans have lost their jobs. Millions have lost their homes. Many more face an uncertain future. What – and who – is to blame?
One of the
nation’s most acclaimed investigative reporters, Pulitzer Prize-winning
journalist James B. Steele, will reveal some of the culprits in a free public
lecture at Washington College on Thursday, October 4. The talk will take place
at 5:30 p.m. in Hynson Lounge, Hodson Hall, and will be followed by a book
signing. It is cosponsored by the College’s C.V. Starr Center for the Study of
the American Experience and the Department of Business Management.
In a new book
entitled The Betrayal of the American Dream, Steele and coauthor Donald L. Barlett delve deep into the
history of the past several decades and pull no punches in reaching their
conclusion: that government and big business have conspired to slowly dismantle
what had become the world’s strongest economy. A recent review in the Los Angeles Times called the book, which
is already a national bestseller, “essential reading
to anyone trying to make sense of our country’s current malaise.”
“The Betrayal of the American Dream is
the story of how a small number of people in power have deliberately put in
place policies that have enriched themselves while cutting the ground out from
underneath America’s greatest asset – its middle class,” Barlett and Steele
write in the book’s prologue. “Their actions, going back more than three
decades, have relegated untold numbers of American men and women to the
economic scrap heap. … Astonishingly, this has been carried out in
what is considered the world’s greatest democracy, where the will of the people
is supposed to prevail. It no longer does.”
Barlett and
Steele have worked together for more than three decades, first at the Philadelphia Inquirer (1971-1997), where
they won two Pulitzer Prizes and scores of other national journalism awards,
then at Time magazine (1997-2006),
where they earned two National Magazine Awards, and now at Vanity Fair as contributing editors. They also have co-written eight
books. The Betrayal of the American Dream
is the sequel to their 1991 investigative series “America: What Went Wrong,”
which New York University’s journalism department recognized as one of the best
pieces of journalism of the 20th century. Reworked into a book, it
became a #1 New York Times
bestseller.
“For more than
two decades, James Steele’s brilliant and tireless reporting has chronicled the
rise of a new age of robber barons,” said Adam Goodheart, the Starr Center’s
Hodson Trust-Griswold Director. “His findings – and his indictment of those
responsible – are nothing short of devastating. What he tells us in his
upcoming talk may cause controversy, but I’m certain that no one who attends
this event will leave it without new insights into our country’s past, present,
and future.”
