The American Dream: The McLaughlin Group

The changing American dream and the findings of the latest MetLife Study of the American Dream were the focus of a recent episode of The McLaughlin Group. Beth Hirschhorn, Senior Vice President, MetLife Global Brand & Marketing, joined the discussion, which covered a range of topics:

• The “downsizing” of the dream
• Whether changes to the dream will last
• Shifts after the housing and job crises
• Personal safety nets and savings

Watch the show, which aired the weekend of April 18–19, 2009, in the player at right.
