Looking at the state of the American economy, this book finds that economic growth has become "delinked" from job creation, and that unemployment and underemployment are a permanent condition of the economy. It traces the historical roots of this state of affairs, and sees a continuum of econcomic austerity that creates a boom for the rich.
