...Clarks' middle-class angst is shared by a generation of Americans who expected prosperity, or at least financial security, to be almost assured for the two-paycheck family. That assumption is increasingly misguided, according to the two-income trap: why middle-class mothers & fathers are going broke (basic books; 255 pages).
