Capitalism Killed the Middle Class: One Man's Journey Through

Once upon a time in America, loyalty meant stability, and a single job could sustain a lifetime. But that dream is now a relic of the past. In Capitalism Killed the Middle Class, a powerful new memoir-meets-manifesto, the author chronicles his 37-year career with the phone company-starting in 1973-against the backdrop of a collapsing American promise.

Part personal history, part political critique, the book takes readers behind the scenes of the telecommunications industry during its most turbulent era. From the dismantling of Ma Bell to the era of deregulation and corporate cannibalism, the author reflects on how a once-stable industry became a cautionary tale of unchecked capitalism.

"I witnessed the system unravel from the inside. What was once a company that treated its workers like family became a symbol of greed and consolidation. This story isn't just mine-it's America's."

Through the lens of lived experience, Capitalism Killed the Middle Class dissects how wage stagnation, corporate mergers, and political complacency hollowed out the backbone of the country: the working class. It's both a lament and a call to action-urging readers to reconsider what kind of future we're building for the next generation.

Key Themes:

The decline of worker pay and job security since the 1970s

Firsthand account of deregulation in the telecom sector

The myth of the "American Dream" in modern capitalism

Urgent reflections on rebuilding a fairer, more inclusive economy

Whether you're a reader of memoirs, political thinkers, or concerned citizens, this book will resonate deeply-and challenge what you think you know about work, wealth, and worth in America.

Get your copy in paperback, hardcover, eBook, and Audible formats through Amazon and major retailers.

Explore the forces reshaping our economy-and what it means for the future of the middle class.

This powerful book blends personal stories with insightful analysis to reveal how political decisions and economic trends have impacted the working class in America.

Discover what happened-why it matters-and what's next.
