Leverageism: Growth for Control: How to survive this 'economy'

TL;DR - Why the world is the way it is, and what happens next. And what's actually important and how it's being taken from you. You will be able to explain the following text expansively after reading this book: A decade of record-breaking markets and rising GDP should have delivered an age of abundance, but most people feel poorer in time, autonomy, and trust. Drawing a clear line from Roosevelt's New Deal through Bretton Woods, the petrodollar, private equity's capture of housing and work, and AI's seizure of culture, this book reveals how capitalism's growth engine has quietly given way to a regime of leverage that feeds on debt, data, and fear. Sweeping in scope yet grounded in everyday experience, it shows how money, technology, and policy have been redesigned to strip ordinary people of the one asset they cannot replace: the hours of a life lived on their own terms.
