Longlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year

From economist Anne Case and Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton, a groundbreaking account of how the flaws in capitalism are fatal for America's working class

Life expectancy in the United States has recently fallen for three years in a row--a reversal not seen since 1918 or in any other wealthy nation in modern times. In the past two decades, deaths of despair from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism have risen dramatically, and now claim hundreds of thousands of American lives each year--and they're still rising. Anne Case and Angus Deaton, known for first sounding the alarm about deaths of despair, explain the overwhelming surge in these deaths and shed light on the social and economic forces that are making life harder for the working class. They demonstrate why, for those who used to prosper in America, capitalism is no longer delivering.

Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism paints a troubling portrait of the American dream in decline. For the white working class, today's America has become a land of broken families and few prospects. As the college educated become healthier and wealthier, adults without a degree are literally dying from pain and despair. In this critically important book, Case and Deaton tie the crisis to the weakening position of labor, the growing power of corporations, and, above all, to a rapacious health-care sector that redistributes working-class wages into the pockets of the wealthy. Capitalism, which over two centuries lifted countless people out of poverty, is now destroying the lives of blue-collar America.

This book charts a way forward, providing solutions that can rein in capitalism's excesses and make it work for everyone.

One-and-done treat for giant breeds (our 186lb foster approves)
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
We foster a 186lb Saint Bernard, and finding treats that actually satisfy her without requiring half the bag has been a challenge. These pig ears? Game changer. What makes these work: - ONE ear = one satisfied dog (compared to other treats where the bag says “35 per day” and she’d still beg for more) - Keeps her busy for about 5 minutes of focused chewing - She does a little excited dance when she sees the bag—can’t even sit, just wiggles - Zero crumbs or mess because she devours every single bit, then spends the next hour sniffing around hoping another one appears - She immediately grabs it and heads to her favorite bed to settle in—doesn’t move until it’s gone The only “issue”: There’s a bit of oil/greasiness when handling them, but nothing a quick hand wash can’t fix (Mrs. Meyer’s Cucumber soap works great, just saying). Bottom line: If you have a giant breed and you’re tired of buying treats that require multiple servings or disappear in one bite, these are it. One ear, complete satisfaction, Subscribe & Save so they just show up like a present you forgot you ordered. Our girl Ellie gives them 186 pounds of approval.

Size of Ears is Inconsistent
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
A bit disappointing with the size, 1 large pig ear, the rest small and not actual whole pig ears. But Doggo enjoys them. No problems with digestion for him.

Just what the pet parent ordered
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
As a furbaby parent of 2 huskies who are chewers in their first 3 yrs of their life, this product helps a lot. Very healthy, dogs love them, safe, and chewy. Definitely a winner. Love the price for my pockets. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed and your pup will thank you too.

Smell of plastic
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
These had a very off-putting smell right out of the bag - each one smelled like plastic, almost as if they’d been sitting in the packaging for too long. My dog wouldn’t touch them at all, which says everything. Would not purchase again.

AWESOME HEALTHY DENTAL TREATS for any dog.
Pattern Name: Half Ears (40-pack)
THESE ARE AWESOME!! Though I need to cut these pig ears with an industrial pair of sheers (cutting scissors), my three 6 lb Chihuahuas LOVE these treats. It also keeps them busy chewing so daddy can get some work done. They are most importantly great for cleaning my dogs tiny Chihuahua teeth. 😁😉. These are a MUST BUY for anyone seeking a healthy, affordable, teeth-cleaning option for any size dog.
