1. Deaths Of Despair And The Future Of Capitalism
An analysis of the surge in drug overdoses, alcohol-related disease, and suicides among less-educated Americans, linking these “deaths of despair” to the decline of stable, dignified work, weakened communities and marriage, and a uniquely costly, rent-seeking healthcare system that depresses wages and fueled the opioid crisis. It argues that modern capitalism has been distorted by concentrated market power and regulatory capture, and proposes reforms to curb healthcare and pharmaceutical abuses, strengthen labor market opportunities and training, and rebuild pathways to economic security and meaning.
