You know something's wrong.

The economy keeps growing, but your paycheck doesn't. Politicians promise change, but nothing fundamentally changes. Experts explain why this policy or that reform will fix things, but somehow the fixes never quite work.

That's what my book The System is Working Perfectly: Just Not For You is about.

It is about understanding how the system works. Not the version they teach in economics classes or debate on cable news. The actual mechanisms. The real players. The parts they don't mention because once you see them, you can't unsee them.

But this book isn't about conspiracy theories or secret cabals. It's simpler than that. It's about systems designed by people with power to benefit people with power, operating exactly as intended.

The good news? Once you see how the system works, you can't be fooled by claims that it's broken. You can't be distracted by debates over which lever to pull when you understand the levers are connected to the wrong machinery.
