In this episode of Rethinking Tech, Aparna and Harinda dive into a powerful and timely conversation about the shifting meaning of the American Dream. Once seen as the land of opportunity, the United States now finds itself at a crossroads socially, politically, and economically. What does the American Dream mean today? Who is it still working for? And how are global perceptions of the U.S. changing?

We explore how deep divides in politics, business, lifestyle, and values are redefining what success looks like, and why this matters not just to Americans, but to people around the world.
