Title: Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success

Author: Leah Boustan, Ran Abramitzky

Narrator: Rachel Botchan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:34:26

Language: English

Release date: 06-28-22

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Business & Economics, Politics, Public Policy

Summary:

Immigration is a fraught and misunderstood topic in Americas social discourse, with much of what we believe based largely on myth. Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan have spent the last decade searching for the facts. Their pioneering

research digs deep into the data on immigration, linking the experiences of immigrants from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to those of immigrants today. Using powerful storytelling alongside big data, they provide

new evidence about the past and present of the American Dream that will change our thinking and policies.

Where you come from, they vividly illustrate, doesnt matter. The children of immigrants from countries like El Salvador, Mexico, and Guatemala today are as likely to be as successful as those from Great Britain and Norway 150 years ago.

And in a pattern that has held for more than a century, the children of immigrants from nearly every country, especially those of poor immigrants, do better economically than children of US-born residents.

Immigration changes the economy in unexpected positive ways, staving off the economic decline that is the consequence of an aging population. Closing the door to immigrants harms the economic prospects of the US-bornthe very people politicians are trying to protect.

When the final four women in competition for an aloof, somewhat sleazy bachelors heart arrive on a mysterious island in the Pacific Northwest, they prepare themselves for another week of extreme sleep deprivation, invasive

interviews, and, of course, the salacious drama eager viewers nationwide tune in to devour. Each woman came on The Catch for her own reasonsbrand sponsorships, followers, and, yes, even loveand theyve all got their eyes steadfastly trained on their respective prizes.

Enter Patricia, a temperamental and woefully misunderstood local living alone in the dark, verdant woods, and desperate for connection. Through twists as unexpected as they are wildly entertaining, the self-absorbed cast and jaded crew

each make her acquaintance atop the islands tallest and most desolate peak, finding themselves at the center of an action-packed thriller that is far from scriptedand only a few will make the final cut.

A whirlwind romp careening toward a last-girl-standing conclusion, and a scathing indictment of contemporary American media culture, Patricia Wants to Cuddle is also a love story: between star-crossed lesbians who rise above their intolerant

town, a deeply ambivalent woman and her budding self-actualization, and a group of misfit islanders forging community against all odds.
