"Full of excellent analysis and proposals." --Clive Crook, "Financial Times"
"A compelling new book... "Creating an Opportunity Society" collects decades of pragmatic insights into the challenges of re-creating an economy that works for all." --Ronald Brownstein, "National Journal"
"Among recent reappraisals of national social policy, this book stands out. Haskins and Sawhill write with unusual clarity and authority. As soon as the recession and health care debates are past, the Obama administration and Congress can have no more urgent task than to address these proposals." --Lawrence M. Mead, New York University
"Two of America's shrewdest social policy thinkers have produced a comprehensive and timely look at an increasingly urgent problem: expanding the opportunity for all Americans to get ahead in this turbulent economy." --Ron Brownstein, Political Director, Atlantic Media Company
"This book brilliantly documents what must be done to restore opportunity for all through a combination of personal responsibility and a helping hand from government, supports we refer to as the 5 Promises at America's Promise Alliance. I encourage all policymakers and civic leaders to read this thought-provoking book." --Alma J. Powell, Chair, America's Promise Alliance
"Haskins and Sawhill have developed a set of innovative ideas for navigating toward the next generation of social policy. There could not be a more competent duo offering pragmatic, interesting, and creative ideas to advance our shared goal of creating opportunity for all." --Linda I. Gibbs, New York City Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services
" "Creating an Opportunity Society" is a blueprint for a better American future. Haskins and Sawhill, two of America's most celebrated policy innovators, outline a series of effective and affordable policies designed to make our economy work for all Americans." --Reihan Salam, coauthor of Grand New Party
"This book presents a bold and thoughtful vision of how to change American economic and social policy to promote a more productive and less unequal society. It synthesizes the best research on political economy and the life cycle of skill formation in crafting its recommendations. While some readers will disagree with the authors about the details of some of their proposals, all readers will agree that the book is breathtaking in its scope and deeply thought-provoking. It is a major contribution to the policy debate." --James J. Heckman, Nobel laureate, University of Chicago
