Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism by Angus and Anne Case

I'm less convinced about their causal explanation for deaths of despair, which is roughly that it's the result of a loss of meaning in people's lives. So, but maybe he's right about a decline in racism being a protective factor for minorities against deaths of despair. It's an additional piece we're adding onto the theory at this point and it's hard to test so I don't know.
