"With Ghostly Ruins, author Harry Skrdla guides your tour of thirty abandoned locations from around the country - homes and hotels, power plants and prisons, whole neighborhoods and even entire towns. These are the happy memories of your grandparents' and great-grandparents' childhoods, such as the United Artists movie palace in Detroit, the rollercoasters at Chippewa Lake Park in Medina, Ohio, and the Palace of Fine Arts from the Chicago World's Fair." "And then there are the structures that were massive and forbidding even at their peaks, before falling to disrepair: the Bethlehem Steel Mill and Eastern State Penitentiary in Pennsylvania and Bannerman's Castle, a munitions depot stranded on a lonely island in upstate New York. Even the works of some of our nation's most revered architects are not impervious to decay. Witness Albert Kahn's Packard Plant and Philip Johnson's New York State Pavilion." "Perhaps eeriest of all are the ghost towns of Bodie, California and Centralia, Pennsylvania, where a trash fire in a nearby mine exploded into an underground inferno in 1962. The fire still blazes today. Skrdla shows you all this and more, telling the tale of each place in its prime and the story behind its fall, accompanied by more than two hundred photographs depicting these locations at both yesterday's historic heights and today's decrepit depths."--BOOK JACKET.

A sobering account of a disenfranchised American working class and important policy solutions to the nation's economic inequalities One of the country's leading scholars on economics and social policy, Isabel Sawhill addresses the enormous divisions in American society--economic, cultural, and political--and what might be done to bridge them. Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. Although many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and the federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.
