Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism by Anne Case and Angus Deaton, 2020.
I just finished this book and will need some time to go over the shock of these troubling revelations. This intriguing and disturbing data driven book looks at flaws in capitalism that has become fatal to the American working class with a significant rise in deaths of despair that include suicide, alcoholism and drug overdoses. The book emphasizes the social and economic forces that are making life much harder on the working class. The groundbreaking book is written by economist Anne Case and Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton.
The long detailed review in the New Yorker... Why Americans Are Dying from Despair.
