Who Killed the American Dream

Who Killed the American Dream

by Thom Hartmann

Berrett-Koehler Publishers · 2026 · 240 pages

This provocative work argues that a single, fabricated court ruling in 1886 fundamentally altered American capitalism, granting corporations undue power and leading to the economic struggles faced by average citizens today. Hartmann traces the alleged legal deception that paved the way for wealth inequality and the erosion of democratic principles. Readers interested in the hidden history of corporate influence and potential paths toward economic justice will find this a compelling, if controversial, read.
