Tamara Draut at Strand January 19, 2006

Join Demos at Strand Book Store for the release of STRAPPED: Why America's 20- and 30-Somethings Can't Get Ahead with author and Economic Opportunity Director, Tamara Draut. Strapped offers a groundbreaking look at the new obstacle course facing young adults--the under 35 crowd--as they try to build careers, buy homes and start families. Young adults are starting out behind the financial eight ball--borrowing their way into adulthood and wondering whatever happened to the American Dream. Join Draut in celebrating the release of what Elizabeth Warren calls "compelling, frightening, and ultimately liberating. By giving a clear analysis of what has gone wrong, Draut points the way to how to make it better. This is a must-read for anyone who is young--or anyone who cares about anyone who is young."
