=Welcome to the Wiki for PLSC 400: Challenges to the American Dream=

Consider this Wiki our collaborative, on-line research notebook for the course. We will post our notes for the annotated bibliography here, and everyone is welcome to use what is found on these annotated bibliographies when writing the thesis. When you create your entries for the annotated bibliography, please tag them with the school of thought to which the entry belongs: ideas, institutions, interest, or economics. Note that an entry might fit under more than one school of thought, particularly if the author is making a complex argument.
