Wall Street's War on Workers

In Wall Street’s War on Workers, Les Leopold explores how corporate practices like mass layoffs and stock buybacks benefit shareholders at the expense of employees, examining the broader social and political consequences of these actions. The book analyzes the role of financialized capitalism in shaping labor practices and advocates for policy changes to end such layoffs, offering insights and solutions aimed at fostering a more equitable economy. Leopold emphasizes that alternative strategies exist and argues that ending Wall Street’s influence could lead to sustainable growth and improved workers' lives.
