The "market" is the collective name for every act of buying and selling we participate in. It governs our economy and our lives, determining our values, our goals, and our accomplishments. We make it—and are made by it.
In Is the American Dream Killing You? Paul Stiles shows how the pressures of the market are causing undue stress in all our lives. He explains why there is so little trust in companies, why it seems harder to feel secure, and why we never seem to be able to rest anymore. In this stunningly well-researched and elegantly argued book, Stiles shows that the harried, anxious lives we lead have one common pressure—the market.

Is the American dream killing you?
I should create a new shelf called got lost halfway for this book. I started reading it while traveling through Asia and I found the themes accurate, particularly during low energy moments when the world seemed mostly fucked up. I don't actually think it is though, so I found the authors constant negative tone to be monotonous and not overly constructive. This book sat on my shelf half completed for over a year while I returned to participate in the 'free market' that the book deplores and I never got the appetite to finish it. If you haven't formed a crystallised opinion on capitalism, globalisation and the ever increasing pace of life, it will leave you wanting to join a hippie commune. But if you've already read other books on the subject, and resigned to it I'd give this book a miss. I do wonder if it did actually offer any solutions?
