FYI Looks like this OC is about one facet of the book "Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism" [2020] "From economist Anne Case and Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton, a groundbreaking account of how the flaws in capitalism are fatal for America's working class" https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691190785/deaths-of-despair-and-the-future-of-capitalism https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691190785/de... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51801314-deaths-of-despair-and-the-future-of-capitalism https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51801314-deaths-of-despa... Looks important. I binged on this and adjacent topics in 2020. Mostly David Graeber and MMT. I wish I had noticed this title then. Alas, I don't think I have the heart to keep picking this scab. I have an entire bookcase of these books, going back ~20 years, starting with my transmutation from apolitical to political. Kevin Phillips, Barbara Ehrenreich, Paul Krugman, Jane Jacobs, Amy Goodman, etc. I even tried to at least skim read some of the seminal texts, like Adam Smith, Milton Friedman, etc. Looking back, I wish I had just started with Smith and Marx and Keynes. Oh well. Any way. These are stories which need to be told. But at some point each of us can choose to start looking forward, fumble towards something better, starting with our own mental, physical, financial health.
