How many times do we consider the impact that business decisions have on the local communities? In the book Janesville, Amy Goldstein shows how the closure of the General Motors plant in the city of Janesville has deep, long-lasting effects on the community. You become a fly on the wall as families make some very painful decisions. You will feel sad, angry and inspired by the end of the book. And if you think this is a story of white middle America being abandoned and supporting Trump, think again.
