Disposable Americans

The book examines the alarming rise of inequality in America, highlighting stark contrasts in wealth distribution, such as the immense earnings of a few individuals compared to the struggles of the middle class. It addresses the consequences of the Great Recession, where the wealthiest gained disproportionately while many lost stability. Author Paul Buchheit proposes innovative solutions, including a guaranteed basic income funded by new taxes, and draws on historical successes to inspire hope for reversing these trends amidst significant social challenges.
