520    "This book documents the decline of white-working class 
       lives over the last half-century and examines the social 
       and economic forces that have slowly made these lives more
       difficult. Case and Deaton argue that market and political
       power in the United States have moved away from labor 
       towards capital-as unions have weakened and politics have 
       become more favorable to business, corporations have 
       become more powerful. Consolidation in some American 
       industries, healthcare especially, has brought an increase
       in monopoly power in some product markets so that it is 
       possible for firms to raise prices above what they would 
       be in a freely competitive market. This, the authors argue,
       is a major cause of wage stagnation among working-class 
       Americans and has played a substantial role in the 
       increase in deaths of despair. Case and Deaton offer a way
       forward, including ideas that, even in our current 
       political situation, may be feasible and improve lives"--
