Is the American Dream Still Within Reach? Wharton Professor Issues Warning

The reachability of the American Dream has been questioned by a Wharton University professor, marking the era of the 'Great Postponement.' In this new economic reality, opportunities now depend more on hard work and consistent policies rather than birth circumstances. For this transformation to succeed, public policies must evolve rapidly, and social mobility opportunities must be expanded. Markets are reacting sensitively to this analysis, with financial markets closely monitoring the impact of this shift on economic growth. Particularly for the younger generation, the future of the job market and education system is being reshaped, presenting both opportunities and threats.
