An increasing number of Americans now believe the dream is out of reach. Only half of people born in 1980 -- today's 37-year-olds -- make as much money as their parents did, according to a newly developed "Index of the American Dream." We invite you to join us for a discussion of aspirations under pressure. How should we define the American Dream now, and is it still within reach? The data behind the dream: Why has it gotten so much harder to achieve our parents' standard of living? Nobody does it better ... or do they? Is the dream more likely to come true in other nations?
