About this product
Product Information
In this revolutionary exposé, Harvard Law School bankruptcy expert Elizabeth Warren and financial consultant Amelia Tyagi show that today's middle-class parents are increasingly trapped by financial meltdowns. Astonishingly, sending mothers to work has made families more vulnerable to financial disaster than ever before. Today's two-income family earns 75% more money than its single-income counterpart of a generation ago, but has 25% less discretionary income to cover living costs. This is "the rare financial book that sidesteps accusations of individual wastefulness to focus on institutional changes," raved the Boston Globe . Warren and Tyagi reveal how the ferocious bidding war for housing and education has silently engulfed America's suburbs, driving up the cost of keeping families in the middle class. The authors show why the usual remedies-child-support enforcement, subsidized daycare, and higher salaries for women-won't solve the problem. But as the Wall Street Journal observed, "The book is brimming with proposed solutions to the nail-biting anxiety that the middle class finds itself in: subsidized day care, school vouchers, new bank regulation, among other measures." From Senator Edward M. Kennedy to Dr. Phil to Bill Moyers, The Two-Income Trap has created a sensation among economists, politicians, and families-all those who care about America's middle-class crisis.

This item was listed as Brand New, but was a re-packaged Used item. I attempted to contact the seller multiple times, but they never responded. Additionally, the item was poorly packaged during shipping and had visible damage when it was received by USPS. As a result, USPS had to re-wrap the item in order to ship it. This seller should be banned from eBay.

I received the book that I ordered in a timely manner. While it met the descriptor of "new", it wasn't described as being a defect, or irregular copy, which is what I believe that I was sold(pages creased, and irregularly cut, and bound). They shipped a soft cover book loose in a plastic bag, and it arrived dinged up with damaged corners, and a chunk cut into the spine. They offer returns, but it wasn't worth it. I can't recommend this seller. 3 Stars is generous IMHO.
