Deaths of despair and the future of capitalism / Case, Anne

"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"--OCLC.

Examines the rising rate of deaths from suicides, drug overdoses, and alcoholism among white working class Americans without a college degree. Argues that it is the result of the expensive health care system and flaws in capitalism, and suggests a way forward.
