The Anchor Hocking Glass Company, once the world's largest maker of
glass tableware, was the base on which Lancaster's society was
built. As Glass House unfolds, bankruptcy looms. With access to the
company and its leaders, and Lancaster's citizens, Alexander shows
how financial engineering took hold in the 1980s, accelerated in
the 21st Century, and wrecked the company. We follow CEO Sam
Solomon, an African-American leading the nearly all-white town's
biggest private employer, as he tries to rescue the company from
the New York private equity firm that hired him. Meanwhile,
Alexander goes behind the scenes, entwined with the lives of
residents as they wrestle with heroin, politics, high-interest
lenders, low wage jobs, technology, and the new demands of American
life: people like Brian Gossett, the fourth generation to work at
Anchor Hocking; and Eric Brown, a local football hero-turned-cop
who comes to realise that he can never arrest Lancaster's real
problems.
