About this listen
The Fall of a Nation is a thought-provoking book that delves into the myriad challenges facing contemporary American society. Spanning a wide range of topics, the book explores the multifaceted issues that contribute to the decline of the nation's prosperity and social well-being. From the decline of family prosperity to the rise of single-parent households, the author examines how these factors impact the fabric of society and the opportunities available to individuals and families.
The book also delves into the decline of manufacturing jobs and the subsequent economic consequences, such as the increased cost of living and the growing gap between the rich and the poor. It explores how these economic disparities perpetuate inequality and hinder social mobility, further exacerbating the challenges faced by marginalized communities. The rising cost of education is another crucial issue discussed in the book, highlighting the barriers it poses to upward mobility and the need for accessible and affordable education.
Furthermore, The Fall of a Nation delves into pressing societal issues such as the trend of drug addiction, the alarming levels of crime, the homelessness crisis, and the pervasive issue of gun violence. The author explores how these issues intersect with larger systemic problems, such as healthcare issues, the state of infrastructure, political polarization, racism and discrimination, and mass incarceration. By examining these interconnected challenges, the book sheds light on the urgent need for comprehensive and collaborative approaches to address these pressing concerns.
In the concluding section of the book, the author emphasizes the importance of recognizing these issues as interrelated and advocating for holistic solutions. The book underscores the significance of collective action, policy reforms, and social initiatives to tackle the complex problems affecting the nation. By fostering inclusivity, promoting equality, and striving for justice, the book encourages readers to actively engage in creating positive change. The Fall of a Nation serves as a wake-up call, urging readers to reflect on these critical issues and work towards building a more prosperous, equitable, and compassionate society for all.

Capitalism as a system has spawned deepening economic crisis alongside its bought-and-paid-for political establishment. Neither serves the needs of our society. Whether it is secure, well-paid, and meaningful jobs or a sustainable relationship with the natural environment that we depend on, our society is not delivering the results people need and deserve.

Story
Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation.

Facing chronic economic insecurity, a popular culture that reflects the nation’s diverse cultural reality, a future in which they will no longer constitute the majority of the population, and with a Black president in the White House, whites are growing anxious.

The good news is that we can still turn things around - if the nation’s proverbial elites are willing to put the American worker’s interests first. Which is more important, pristine air quality, or well-paying jobs that support families? Unfettered access to the cheapest labor in the world, or renewed investment in the employment of Americans?

The United States bills itself as the land of opportunity, a place where anyone can achieve success and a better life through hard work and determination. But the facts tell a different story - the US today lags behind most other developed nations in measures of inequality and economic mobility. For decades, wages have stagnated for the majority of workers while economic gains have disproportionately gone to the top one percent.

In a bold challenge to the conventional wisdom of both liberals and conservatives, Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, looks at the reasons for poverty in America and offers a detailed agenda for increasing wealth, incomes, and opportunity. The author argues that conservative critiques of a “culture of poverty” fail to account for the structural circumstances in which the poor live, especially racism, gender discrimination, and economic dislocation. However, he also criticizes liberal calls for fighting poverty through redistribution or new government programs.

At the close of the twentieth century, corporate capitalism extended its reach over the globe. While its defenders argue that globalization is the only way forward for modern, democratic societies, the spread of this system is failing to meet even the most basic needs of billions of individuals around the world. Moreover, the entrenchment of this free market system is undermining the foundations of healthy societies, caring communities, and personal wellbeing.

Since 1980, the number of people in US prisons has increased more than 450 percent. Despite a crime rate that has been falling steadily for decades, California has led the way in this explosion, with what a state analyst called "the biggest prison building project in the history of the world". Golden Gulag provides the first detailed explanation for that buildup by looking at how political and economic forces conjoined to produce the prison boom.

Community leader and lawyer Zach Norris lays out a radical way to shift the conversation about public safety away from fear and punishment and toward growth and support systems for our families and communities.

The United States is becoming a nation of rich and poor, with few families in the middle. In this book, MIT economist Peter Temin offers an illuminating way to look at the vanishing middle class. Temin argues that American history and politics, particularly slavery and its aftermath, play an important part in the widening gap between rich and poor. Temin employs a well-known, simple model of a dual economy to examine the dynamics of the rich/poor divide in America.

What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.
