The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke by Elizabeth Warren

informative fast-paced

4.0

Really interesting and sobering analysis of how (white, middle class) women going to work in the 1960s led to an increase in the precarity of the American middle class lifestyle. The book walks an interesting divide between being academic and a call to action: it's a little too lacking in detail (about race in particular) to really be academic and it's a little too bogged down in policy details to be just an activist book. But its core thesis is so unexpected and counterintuitive that I think it's definitely worth reading
