In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic made it painfully clear that governments across the world could not adequately protect their citizens. Millions of people suffered and died in just two years, while administrations around the globe blundered; prize-winning economists overlooked devastating trade-offs from the collapse of trade; and elites escaped to isolated retreats. In this compelling economic, political and financial history, veteran journalists Bethany McClean and Joseph Nocera analyse the American response to the pandemic as a case study, to offer fresh and provocative answers.

When you do that you’ll see why, contrary to universal belief, capitalism helps the living standards of the less well-off much more than those of the rich.

Since the eviction of Occupy protestors from encampments in many cities throughout the world, smaller and more targeted occupations have continued. Workers in a Chicago factory occupied - with the support of their union - to protest layoffs. Teachers and students in Tucson staged a walkout to protest the removal of Chicano history books from the curriculum. Home foreclosures were disrupted, even avoided, by direct community action. But what does it all mean? What do we talk about when we talk about "revolution", if we talk about it at all?

El Día de la Liberación deshizo ochenta años de diplomacia pacífica establecida a través de múltiples administraciones presidenciales y arruinó el comercio entre los EE.UU. y sus aliados en nuestros puntos económicos más vulnerables de la historia. En resumen, inicialmente pensé que era una distracción para algo más importante que sucedía en todo el mundo, pero para nuestra muerte, fue simplemente una idiotez. Me gusta el presidente Trump, pero ahora está claro que su narcisismo y los nombramientos que ha colocado en su administración están decididos a hacer que los pobres ...

Goldstene uses a biographical approach to focus on key figures along a spectrum of political belief as they struggled to reconcile the inherent contradictions of equal opportunity.
