How the American Dream has changed

The phrase ‘American Dream’ was officially coined just under 90 years ago in a book called The Epic of America by James Truslow
Adams. He argued it was “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for
each according to ability or achievement.”

Today: No single American Dream?

For some today the American Dream means a chance for fame and celebrity, while for others it means succeeding through the old
adage of family values and hard work. Still others believe that the American Dream just represents a world closed to all but the elite
with their wealth and contacts […]. Meanwhile, surveys have found that almost half of all millennials believe the American Dream is
dead. In an ever-changing country, the idea of what the American Dream means to different people is changing too.
