Morts de désespoir

This book explores the rising mortality rates among working-class Americans, particularly focusing on 'deaths of despair' from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism. It investigates the economic and social factors contributing to this crisis, linking them to the decline of the American working class and the failures of contemporary capitalism. The authors offer a critical analysis of policies and societal changes that have led to widespread suffering and propose solutions for a more equitable future.
