{"product_id":"9781101200377","title":"Something for Nothing: Luck in America","description":"Jackson Lears has won accolades for his skill in identifying the rich  and  unexpected layers of meaning beneath the familiar and mundane in  our lives. Now,  he challenges the conventional wisdom that the  Protestant ethic of perseverance,  industry, and disciplined achievement  is what made America great. Turning to the  deep, seldom acknowledged  reverence for luck that runs through our entire  history from colonial  times to the early twenty-first century, Lears traces how  luck, chance,  and gambling have shaped and, at times, defined our national   character.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116401049840,"sku":"9781101200377","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101200377_p0.jpg?v=1763686431","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101200377","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
