“Economic Realities of the American Dream” What prompted the idea for the course? One of us – Steve Fazzari – was trained as an economist, and the other – Mark Rank – as a sociologist.

This talk inspired Steve at a moment in his career when he sought to integrate economic inequality into his teaching.
