Beschreibung

In America, liberalism brings prosperity to the many? False: In America, "anything is possible" for those who work hard? False. In America, the unemployment rate is derisory? False. In America, poverty is relative and the poor live "like modest Europeans"? False. In America, those excluded from the health care system receive free care when they really need it? False and very false.America has the highest levels of poverty, child mortality and inequality of any developed country. Millions of children are denied even the right to a decent education, and are forced to advertise during class. Millions of people work full time (or more) for wages below the poverty line. Millions of employees, subject to summary dismissal, are denied paid leave, health insurance, retirement plans and unemployment coverage. Women give birth and return to work the next day because they have no access to paid maternity leave. Retirees are forced to sell empty Coca-Cola cans from the garbage to survive. The incarceration rate of the most disadvantaged is such that it distorts even the unemployment figures...Yet many European politicians continue to hold up the "American model" as a saving grace. How much longer will we have to endure such a fable? This black book reveals all the figures and scandals that make up America today. Dozens of testimonies make it a breathtaking investigation.
