The Economy Is A Lie: Why You Feel Broke
Description
The economy has a public relations problem—or is capitalism failing working people? From rising living costs and declining consumer confidence to Trump’s economic claims, the risks of the AI investment boom, and warnings of another financial crisis, we examine why the economy looks strong on paper but feels increasingly difficult for ordinary Americans.
We also explore how inflation deepens inequality, why workers remain anxious about jobs and affordability, and what happens when corporations bet billions on AI while working people struggle to make ends meet.
