In the past two decades, deaths of despair from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism have risen dramatically, and now claim hundreds of thousands of American lives each year—and they're still rising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnne Case and Angus Deaton, known for first sounding the alarm about deaths of despair, explain the overwhelming surge in these deaths and shed light on the social and economic forces that are making life harder for the working class. They demonstrate why, for those who used to prosper in America, capitalism is no longer delivering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e paints a troubling portrait of the American dream in decline. For the white working class, today's America has become a land of broken families and few prospects. As the college educated become healthier and wealthier, adults without a degree are literally dying from pain and despair. In this critically important book, Case and Deaton tie the crisis to the weakening position of labour, the growing power of corporations, and, above all, to a rapacious healthcare sector that redistributes working class wages into the pockets of the wealthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCapitalism, which over two centuries lifted countless people out of poverty, is now destroying the lives of blue-collar America.
