American Insecurity

The book explores the paradox of economic insecurity, examining why individuals facing financial instability often refrain from collective political action. It delves into the psychological and social factors that contribute to this phenomenon, highlighting the role of fear, individualism, and the perception of personal agency. Through various case studies and theoretical frameworks, it seeks to understand the disconnect between widespread economic distress and the lack of organized response, ultimately questioning the effectiveness of current political movements in addressing these issues.
