Summary: Discusses such problems that the United States faces from wage losses, underemployment, social inequality, and the demise of democratic institutions. This has resulted in a despair that has seized the United States and expresses itself through compulsive gambling, pornography, suicide, mass shootings, the propagation of hate groups, and an opioid epidemic. The author argues that no political party, now captured by corporate power, addresses the problem. Until the corporate coup d'�etat is reversed, these pathologies will continue to ravage the country.
