Summary:
"In 1947 Forbes magazine declared
Lancaster
,
Ohio
, the epitome of the all-American town. Today it is damaged, discouraged, and fighting for its future. Journalist Brian Alexander uses the story of one town to show how seeds sown thirty-five years ago have sprouted to give us Trumpism, inequality, and an eroding national cohesion. The Anchor Hocking Glass Company, once the world's largest maker of glass
tableware
, was the base on which
Lancaster
's society was built. Alexander shows how financial engineering took hold in the 1980s, accelerated in the twenty-first century, and wrecked the company. Meanwhile, Alexander follows the lives of residents as they wrestle with heroin, politics, high-interest lenders, low-wage jobs, technology, and the new demands of American life"--Provided by publisher.
