Description
A groundbreaking analysis of the crisis facing America's working class. Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism explores the alarming rise in deaths from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism among adults without a college education. Economist Anne Case and Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton shed light on the social and economic forces driving this crisis, including the weakening position of labor, the growing power of corporations, and a rapacious health-care sector.
