The American Dream is fading away in much of the country, and the problem isn't pure economics, nor is it a case of stubborn old white men falling behind because they refuse embrace progress. The root cause of our problems--crumbling families, deaths of despair, political dysfunction--is the erosion of community and local, civil institutions--most especially church. The result of a secularizing country is a plague of alienation for the working class, as people struggle to build families and improve their lives without the support structure they need.
