The fiery U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and bestselling
author offers a passionate, inspiring book about why our
middle class is under siege and how we can win the fight to
save it Senator Elizabeth Warren has long been an outspoken champion
of America’s middle class, and by the time the people of
Massachusetts elected her in 2012, she had become one of the
country’s leading progressive voices. Now, at a perilous
moment for our nation, she has written a book that is at
once an illuminating account of how we built the strongest
middle class in history, a scathing indictment of those who
have spent the past thirty-five years undermining working
families, and a rousing call to action. Warren grew up in Oklahoma, and she’s never forgotten how
difficult it was for her mother and father to hold on at the
ragged edge of the middle class. An educational system that
offered opportunities for all made it possible for her to
achieve her dream of going to college, becoming a teacher,
and, later, attending law school. But now, for many, these
kinds of opportunities are gone, and a government that once
looked out for working families is instead captive to the
rich and powerful. Seventy-five years ago, President
Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal ushered in an age of
widespread prosperity; in the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan
reversed course and sold the country on the disastrous
fiction called trickle-down economics. Now, with the
election of Donald Trump--a con artist who promised to drain
the swamp of special interests and then surrounded himself
with billionaires and lobbyists--the middle class is being
pushed ever closer to collapse. Written in the candid, high-spirited voice that is Warren’s
trademark, This Fight Is Our Fight tells eye-opening stories
about her battles in the Senate and vividly describes the
experiences of hard-working Americans who have too often
been given the short end of the stick. Elizabeth Warren has
had enough of phony promises and a government that no longer
serves its people--she won’t sit down, she won’t be
silenced, and she will fight back.
