Broke by Design: How the System Rigged Your Future

By Reed Halston

You're not failing. The system is rigged against you.

Why does it feel like no matter how hard you work, you're still falling behind? Broke by Design exposes the brutal truth: the American economy hasn't broken-it's been meticulously engineered to keep working people one step away from financial ruin. From wage stagnation and student debt to vanishing benefits and a weaponized credit score system, Reed Halston reveals the systemic forces draining your wallet and crushing your future.

Drawing on decades of economic data, historical analysis, and deeply human stories, Halston dismantles the myth of meritocracy and shows how policy after policy has favored corporations and the ultra-wealthy-at your expense. This isn't just a book about what's wrong. It's a wake-up call. And the first step toward building something better is knowing exactly how they rigged it.

If you've ever wondered why you're struggling despite doing everything "right," this book will finally give you answers-and the clarity to fight back.
