From the collaborators behind the modern business classic All the Devils are Here comes a damning indictment of American capitalismand the leaders that left us brutally unprepared for a global pandemicIn 2020, the novel coronavirus pandemic made it painfully clear that the U.S. could not adequately protect its citizens. Millions of Americans sufferedand over a million diedin 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 page-turning economic, political, and financial history, veteran journalists Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera offer fresh and provocative answers. With laser-sharp analysis and deep sourcing, they investigate both what really happened when governments ran out of PPE due to snarled supply chains and the shock to the financial system when the world's biggest economy stumbled. They zero in on the effectiveness of wildly polarized approaches, with governors Andrew Cuomo of New York and Ron DeSantis of Florida taking infamous turns in the spotlight. And they trace why thousands died in hollowed-out hospital systems and nursing homes run by private equity firms tomaximize shareholder value." In the tradition of the authors previous landmark exposs, The Big Fail is an expansive, insightful account on what the pandemic did to the economy and how American capitalism has jumped the railsand is essential reading to understand where were going next.
