About the Book
Change the world! Why not? Social class is an under-recognized sorting mechanism in the United States that determines where you will go to school, whether you will go to college, and if you will work in a professional career or a low-level service position.
Find out why meritocracy is the favored myth in the United States. If you think that anyone can get ahead with hard work, talent, and motivation, read on! You may be kidding yourself.
One person can make a difference and that one person is you. Discover strategies to level the playing field and create equal opportunities in educational environments and other organizations for deserving youth and adults from lower social-class backgrounds.
