Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Debt isn't just a number on your credit card or mortgage. It's the quietly dominant force that has reshaped the entire American economy, and most people still don't see it.In Debt, The Systematically Neglected Elephant in the Room, discover how debt evolved from a financial tool into the cen…tral organizing principle of our economy. Starting with Nixon's 1971 decision to close the gold window, through Reagan-era tax cuts and deregulation, and into the rise of shareholder primacy, this book reveals how leverage became the preferred substitute for real discipline.Corporations embraced debt-financed stock buybacks and leveraged buyouts to boost short-term share prices and executive pay. What followed was predictable: risk was transferred away from balance sheets and onto workers, households, and communities. Wages stagnated while productivity soared. Jobs became contingent. Pensions vanished. Healthcare and education turned into debt traps. Retirement shifted from a guarantee to a gamble. The American Dream itself was quietly repurposed into the final shock absorber for a fragile, leveraged system.This is not a story of personal failure or bad luck. It's a story of deliberate design choices, financialization, short-term incentives, and the normalization of extraction that hollowed out resilience while preserving the appearance of growth. Every crisis (dot-com, housing, COVID) exposed the same pattern: the costs are socialized, the gains privatized.More than a diagnosis, this book offers clarity and a path forward. It presents clear design principles for a more durable form of capitalism: risk must stay with capital, time horizons must lengthen, slack and redundancy must be valued, and failure must be contained rather than allowed to cascade.Written in straightforward, non-technical language with sharp historical insight, this book connects the dots between policy decisions, corporate strategy, generational decline, and daily economic anxiety. If you've ever felt that the game is rigged, wages no longer buy security, or that something fundamental has broken-this book names the elephant in the room.For anyone seeking to understand why the economy feels increasingly brittle for working Americans, and what real change would actually require.This is essential reading. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
