520 "This book documents the decline of white-working class
lives over the last half-century and examines the social
and economic forces that have slowly made these lives more
difficult. Case and Deaton argue that market and political
power in the United States have moved away from labor
towards capital-as unions have weakened and politics have
become more favorable to business, corporations have
become more powerful. Consolidation in some American
industries, healthcare especially, has brought an increase
in monopoly power in some product markets so that it is
possible for firms to raise prices above what they would
be in a freely competitive market. This, the authors argue,
is a major cause of wage stagnation among working-class
Americans and has played a substantial role in the
increase in deaths of despair. Case and Deaton offer a way
forward, including ideas that, even in our current
political situation, may be feasible and improve lives"--
