Reading this book is somewhat like reading the  study Testing Theories (2014) again, if it was a (very) short book written for a general american audience. That being the case, this is a worthwhile read!

Testing Theories was a landmark study that deeply influenced many of us, confirming with solid math what social theory has long known: that the States are not a democracy. Requiem for the American Dream does the same with symbols familiar to the american reader.
