Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism - by Anne Case & Angus Deaton

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the decline of white-working class lives in the United States over the past half-century, highlighting the social and economic forces that have contributed to this trend.

The authors argue that market and political power have shifted away from labor towards capital, leading to increased monopoly power in some product markets and wage stagnation among working-class Americans.

They also offer feasible solutions to improve lives, including ideas that may be implemented even in the current political situation.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex issues facing America's working class and finding ways to address them.
