American Made
What Happens to People When Work Disappears
Farah Stockman
American Made tells the story of three workers whose lives crumble when the factory they had built their lives around closes down. This illuminating tale delves into the profound role work plays in our identity and belonging as humans. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Farah Stockman offers a close look at how jobs serve as a bedrock of people's lives and drive powerful social justice movements. American Made is also a story about race, class, and American values, and how the dignity of work lies at the heart of who we are.

Just finished @fstockman brilliant book American Made which details how DC policymakers took away jobs from millions with trade policies where the benefits went to corporations & professionals. She reminds us that in the 1963 March on Washington Jobs preceded Freedom. Must read. – source
