Conversations: Janet M. Ruane & Karen A. Cerulo, "Dreams of a Lifetime: How Who We Are Shapes How We Imagine Our Future"

In this episode Matt Crawford speaks with sociologists Janet Ruane and Karen Cerulo about their book: Dreams of a Lifetime. If you could do anything you want without risk of failure, what would you do? For many of us we view dreams as things that are unrealistic and that may never happen. What if dreams were actually a socioeconomic barometer and by studying them, we could get a glimpse into people's sense of upward mobility. A great and interesting read that is very entertaining while educating.
