Is America Broken or Has It Always Been This Way? argues that the nation’s biggest crises income inequality, racial injustice, political division, and cultural battles aren’t signs of a system falling apart but evidence of one functioning exactly as designed. The book contends that America’s institutions have long served the interests of the wealthy and powerful while keeping ordinary people divided, distracted, and economically strained. Despite mounting frustration over wages, housing, healthcare, and affordability, many Americans still support policies that undermine their own well-being a result of deliberate political, economic, and cultural engineering. The book urges readers to recognize the system for what it is, reclaim their self-interest, and use their collective power through voting, spending, organizing, and action to force meaningful change.
