Editors' Choice Shortlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey
Business Book of the Year A New Statesman Book to Read From
economist Anne Case and Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton, a
groundbreaking account of how the flaws in capitalism are fatal for
America's working class Deaths of despair from suicide, drug
overdose, and alcoholism are rising dramatically in the United
States, claiming hundreds of thousands of American lives. Anne Case
and Angus Deaton explain the overwhelming surge in these deaths and
shed light on the social and economic forces that are making life
harder for the working class. As the college educated become
healthier and wealthier, adults without a degree are literally
dying from pain and despair. Case and Deaton tie the crisis to the
weakening position of labor, the growing power of corporations, and
a rapacious health-care sector that redistributes working-class
wages into the pockets of the wealthy. This critically important
book paints a troubling portrait of the American dream in decline,
and provides solutions that can rein in capitalism's excesses and
make it work for everyone.
