The Once and Future Worker

This book examines the crisis facing the American worker, with stagnant wages, surging welfare reliance and declining life expectancy. Oren Cass challenges conventional economic assumptions, arguing that prioritizing consumption over workers has led to the current situation. He offers new solutions, including a culture of respect for all kinds of work, and placing workers at the center of society's priorities. This book offers a groundbreaking re-evaluation of American society, economics, and public policy, revealing how to turn things around and support a thriving, self-sufficient society that offers opportunity to all.
