SUMMARY:The American Dream at 250: Still Within Reach?
DESCRIPTION:As America turns 250\, many are asking whether it still deliver
 s on its promise.&nbsp\;
\n
\nFor generations\, the “American Dream”
 —the belief that anyone can achieve success and stability through hard w
 ork—has defined the nation’s identity. But as America reaches its 250t
 h anniversary\, that optimism is increasingly under pressure. Fewer childr
 en are out-earning their parents\, concerns about AI and automation grow\,
  and the cost of living continues to rise faster than wages.
\n
\nThis pro
 gram will explore the forces shaping opportunity in America\, and what\, i
 f anything\, can be done to preserve it. How has our understanding of the 
 Dream evolved since the nation’s founding\, and should it be redefined f
 or the realities of today?
\n
\nOur panelists\, drawing on both domestic a
 nd international perspectives\, will discuss how today’s leaders assess 
 and respond to these challenges\, and what they believe must be considered
  to strengthen the American Dream for the next generation.
