Description

Inequality has reached crisis levels in America, and Paul Buchheit's Disposable Americans offers a critical examination of extreme capitalism and its devastating social consequences. The book reveals stark disparities: the 14 richest Americans earned enough from investments in 2015 to hire two million preschool teachers, whilst the USA ranks low among developed nations in preschool access. Following the Great Recession, the wealthiest one percent captured 116 percent of new income gains, pushing middle-class Americans backward and destroying property wealth. Buchheit explores how these systemic inequalities persist and presents the case for a guaranteed income as a viable solution to America's deepening social crisis. This Critical Interventions title from Routledge provides essential analysis for understanding modern economic disparity and potential policy reform.

Key Features

Paul Buchheit examines extreme capitalism's role in widening inequality and offers guaranteed income as a policy solution for America's economic crisis.

The book documents how the richest one percent captured 116 percent of post-recession income gains whilst middle-class Americans lost property wealth and employment.

Buchheit highlights the disparity in early childhood education, showing how America's 14 wealthiest individuals earned enough in 2015 to fund two million preschool teachers.

Published by Routledge as part of the Critical Interventions series, this sociology and social sciences book addresses urgent policy reform and economic justice.
