简介

"America is becoming a land of private greed and public squalor.This book is an indispensable road map through the wreckage. The facts it reveals will startle you. They may depress you. but ideally they'll fire you up to help rebuild this nation."
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Robert B.Reich, author of The Work of Nations　
Utilizing statistics and commentary, Andrew L. Shapiro, who works at The Nation, shows how America really stacks up in international comparisons of health care, education, the economy, sex, religion, crime,politics and the environment.
We're Number One! is the ultimate guide to how well the American dream is faring on the eve of the twenty-first centry.
