Perhaps you missed the entire point - The reality of The American Dream is not measured by if one person, or two persons or a small number of persons can still attain it. It is measured by it it is attainable by the masses of our society. Without reading the book since it is not yet available, I take it that is the message of the author.
I know the American dream does not include subprime mortgages, 2+ years of unemployment benefits, Robin Hood healthcare, and holding your hand out for more gimmes from the government.
