From the Hollar to The Hill

For generations America was a nation of builders—factories, highways, hospitals, whole middle-class lives. Then Wall Street logic replaced main-street muscle and the greatest middle class in history began to unravel. America’s Undoing digs into how we shifted from production to predation, from public investment to privatized profit, and why official statistics keep telling a fairy tale. But this isn’t a doomcast. Each episode pairs deep reporting with concrete blueprints for renewal: re-industrializing supply chains, fixing infrastructure, designing healthcare that actually heals, and reviving an economy that works for everyone. If you want clear-eyed history, hard numbers, and a map to rebuild what we’ve lost, hit play—and let’s get back to building.
