He tackles critical issues such as poverty, healthcare, and the minimum wage while providing a humorous and insightful look at the life of economists.

Tod aus Verzweiflung
Der Untergang der amerikanischen Arbeiterklasse und das Ende des amerikanischen Traums
Der „American Dream“ ist im Niedergang begriffen. Für die weiße Arbeiterklasse ist das heutige Amerika zu einem Land der zerrütteten Familien und der mangelnden Perspektiven geworden. Während College-Absolventen immer gesünder und wohlhabender werden, sterben Erwachsene ohne Abschluss immer häufiger an Alkohol, Drogen und Suizid – ein Tod aus Verzweiflung. Die wachsende Macht der Konzerne und ein skrupelloser Gesundheitssektor sind nur zwei der Gründe. Der Kapitalismus, der in zwei Jahrhunderten unzählige Menschen aus der Armut befreite, zerstört nun das Leben der amerikanischen Arbeiter. Die renommierten Ökonomen Anne Case und Angus Deaton legen diese Misere in ihrem Buch schonungslos offen. Drohen auch uns amerikanische Verhältnisse? Die Autoren geben brandaktuelle Antworten.
