In this fascinating book, Pamela Walker Laird traces the evolution of the "self-made" myth from a sin to a source of individualist esteem.
"Pamela Laird exposes the myth of the self-made person. She brings together an unexpected cast of historical actors, from Oliver Cromwell and Booker T. Washington to Kylie Jenner, and in the process she urges readers to reconsider how and why the idea of the self-made individual continues to pervade American society. Surprising and brilliant."
—Justene Hill Edwards, author of Savings and Trust: The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman’s Bank

The Daily Blast With Greg Sargent

The economic news is getting worse. Major companies are announcing mass layoffs, and it’s dominating the headlines, including in the Rust Belt. Food stamps are about to expire for millions. Consumer confidence keeps sliding. And newly released info shows how Obamacare premiums will soar due to lapsing subsidies. That backdrop of bad news makes President Trump’s tearing down of White House structures to build a gilded ballroom even more damaging. Indeed, new polling shows that the ballroom fiasco is now stirring a surprising public backlash. On top of that,
commentators are noticing the disconnect between the ballroom optics and the darkening economic situation for millions, a dynamic that will only worsen. We talked to Elizabeth Pancotti, who tracks economic sentiment as managing director of the Groundwork Collaborative. We discuss what the economic news means, why the media should level with voters about Trump’s out-of-touch displays, and how Democrats in key races are seizing the economic high ground.
