Free Lunch

The book delves into the paradox of a strong economy juxtaposed with widespread job insecurity and financial distress among Americans. Acclaimed reporter David Cay Johnston investigates how government policies and expenditures have disproportionately favored the wealthiest 1%, leading to increased debt and bankruptcy for the majority. By uncovering these dynamics, the author sheds light on the systemic issues that contribute to economic inequality and the challenges faced by everyday citizens.
