Synopsis

The Big Squeeze: How Billionaires Are Bleeding the Middle Class Dry is a gripping and urgent exploration of the widening chasm between the rich and everyone else in the 21st-century West. From stagnant wages and unaffordable housing to the hidden mechanics of tax havens and global financialization, this book exposes how policy choices—not inevitabilities—have systematically dismantled the middle class and concentrated power at the top.

Blending vivid storytelling with sharp economic insight, The Big Squeeze reveals how inequality is not just an economic problem but a threat to democracy, social cohesion, and the very idea of shared progress. It takes readers from shuttered factories to corporate boardrooms, from rising protests to hopeful experiments in economic democracy, illuminating both the roots of the crisis and the growing movements to reclaim a fairer future.

This is not just a book about what’s gone wrong—it’s a call to action, offering a bold vision of what a just, inclusive, and sustainable economy could look like. If you've ever wondered why it feels like you're working harder for less, or feared that your children might end up worse off than you, The Big Squeeze is the wake-up call—and the roadmap—you’ve been waiting for.
