Scratch Beginnings Adam Shepard

Social issues

Along the way, Shepard explores controversial premises, such as:

  • Why the book Nickel and Dimed was flawed from the beginning.
  • Why raising the minimum wage does not stimulate the economy of the lower class.
  • Why immigration and job outsourcing are not the causes of decreasing opportunity in the American workforce.
  • How certain individuals are profiting from the consumer's fear of the death of the American Dream.[2]
