In "Third World America," Arianna Huffington delivers a potent and urgent analysis of the American Dream in distress. With a discerning eye, she examines the unraveling fabric of the United States, where the middle class teeters on the brink of extinction, and the pillars of democracy are corroded by the acid of corporate greed and political dysfunction. Through a meticulously researched narrative, Huffington paints a vivid picture of a nation in peril—industrial decay, crumbling infrastructure, and an education system failing to prepare the next generation. This book is not just a critique but a clarion call to action, laying bare the stark reality that America's decline into a "third world" status is not a foregone conclusion but a possible future if the current course remains unchanged. Huffington's analysis goes beyond mere observation, offering solutions rooted in the American spirit of resilience and innovation. "Third World America" is a rallying cry for citizens, policymakers, and activists alike to reclaim the promise of America. By spotlighting the forces undermining the middle class and democratic institutions, Huffington challenges us to envision a nation where prosperity is shared and opportunity is accessible to all. This work is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of the United States and committed to preventing the descent into a third world reality. With her signature blend of passion and insight, Huffington urges us to wake from the American nightmare to revitalize the dream that has powered generations.

The theme of [this book] is, if we do not get our act together [, this] great country is headed in the direction of being a third world nation. - Bernie Sanders
It’s not that capitalism isn’t working. It’s that what we have right now is not capitalism. What we have is corporatism. It’s welfare for the rich. It’s the government picking winners and losers. It’s Wall Street having its taxpayer-funded cake and eating it, too. It’s socialized losses and privatized gains.
— Arianna Huffington, Third World America
