註釋Contrasts the understandings of the man-in-the-street about economic issues and the official economic discourse. Recalls features of American optimism towards the New Economy, namely changed ways of working and doing business due to new technologies, international trade, and deregulation of many industries. Focuses on building wealth, attitudes towards globalization and immigration, and perceptions of health care, education and representation in the workplace. Includes suggestions on how to talk about economics to laypersons, i.e. to reflect both optimism and anxiety, feelings about the New Insecurity, opportunity vs. security, and the roles of large corporations, wealthy individuals, and the government.
