Hell to Pay

In Hell to Pay, Michael Lind critically examines the myth of objective wage determination and explores how bipartisan interests have undermined American workers’ bargaining power, contributing to the nation’s decline. He argues that restoring worker power is essential for preventing further social and political deterioration and outlines a plan to reform the country’s low-wage, high-welfare system. The book offers a provocative analysis and a call to action to address these systemic issues.
