The Economic Opportunies Program at the Aspen Institute has just released 
an article summarizing a provocative set of discussions about the roles of 
work and wealth in today's economy that took place during the inaugural 
Aspen Ideas Festival in July. EOP invited several top academics, advocates 
and journalists to share their perspectives during the week-long event. The 
article, entitled: "Family Economics: Work and Wealth in the New Economy," 
(available

DeParle, Eric J. Cooper, Myron Orfield, Angela Glover Blackwell, Amy
