Steven Hill - Raw Deal

The US workforce, which has been one of the most productive and wealthiest in the world, is undergoing an alarming transformation. Increasing numbers of workers find themselves on shaky ground, turned into freelancers, temps and contractors. Even many full-time and professional jobs are experiencing this precarious shift. Raw Deal: How the "Uber Economy" and Runaway Capitalism Are Screwing American Workers, by veteran journalist Steven Hill, is an expose that challenges conventional thinking, and the hype celebrating this new economy, by showing why the vision of the "techno sapien" leaders and their Ayn Rand libertarianism is a dead end. In Raw Deal, Hill proposes pragmatic policy solutions to transform the US economy and its safety net and social contract, launching a new kind of deal to restore power back into the hands of American workers.

Steven Hill is a Senior Fellow with the New America Foundation, and a journalist and author of four books, including the internationally praised Europe's Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age. His articles and interviews have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Le Monde, Financial Times, The Guardian, Los Angeles Times, The Nation, BBC, C-SPAN, Fox News, Democracy Now, NPR, PBS and many others.
