In the past two decades, deaths from suicide, drug overdose and alcoholism have risen dramatically in the USA. Anne Case and Angus Deaton – known for first sounding the alarm about these deaths of despair – now shed light on the social and economic forces that are making life harder for the working class. In this conversation with Festival of Ideas Director Andrew Kelly, they demonstrate why capitalism is no longer delivering and paint a troubling portrait of the American dream in decline.
