{"product_id":"the-trap","title":"The Trap","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this witty and revealing polemic, journalist Daniel Brook's The Trap argues that the exploding income gap--a product of the conservative ascendance--is systematically dismantling the American dream, as debt-laden, well-educated young people are torn between their passions and the pressure to earn six-figure incomes.Rising education, housing, and health-care costs have made it virtually impossible for all but the corporate elite to enjoy what were once considered middle-class comforts. Thousands are afflicted with a wrenching choice: take up residence on America's financial and social margins or sell out. From the activist who works to give others a living wage but isn't paid one himself, to the universal health-care advocate who becomes a management consultant for Big Pharma, Brook presents a damning indictment of the economic and political landscape that traps young Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Brook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44229326503996,"sku":"9780805088014","price":497.5,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/9780805088014_isbn.jpg?v=1776778223","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-trap","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
