Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism by Angus Deaton, Anne Case
5.0
Once again, I was growing increasingly tired, annoyed, and frustrated seeing articles and news stories blaming social media for depression and anxiety. So, I revisited the best book written with actual data about the reason for deaths of despair. Deaths of despair are deaths from suicide, overdoses, and alcohol-related health issues. Deaton and Case are economists (one is a Nobel prize winner), and they’ve found that good ol’ capitalism is the reason for all of these preventable deaths.
I can’t recommend this book enough. By reading this, you’ll understand the true causes of why so many people are miserable and losing hope. It’s not social media ruining our children, it’s overworked, underpaid parents who are too busy and stressed to properly parent these kids. This book will show you the actual root of the problem, and you need to go get it now if you haven’t read it yet.
