From the collaborators behind the modern business classic All the Devils are Here comes a damning indictment of American capitalism-and the leaders that left us brutally unprepared for a global pandemic. In 2020, the novel coronavirus pandemic made it painfully clear that the U.S. could not adequately protect its citizens. Millions of Americans suffered-and over a million died-in less than two years, while government officials blundered; prize-winning economists overlooked devastating trade-offs; and elites escaped to isolated retreats, unaffected by and even profiting from the pandemic. Why and how did America, in a catastrophically enormous failure, become the world leader in COVID deaths? In this compelling economic, political, and financial history, veteran journalists Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera offer fresh and provocative answers.
