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.
