Discover the compelling narrative of 'Janesville: An American Story' by Amy Goldstein, a celebrated volume that has garnered numerous accolades including the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year, and the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize. This award-winning book, recognized by The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and Business Insider, delves deep into the American working class's challenges, aspirations, and resilience.

Amy Goldstein, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, spent years immersing herself in Janesville, Wisconsin. Her in-depth reporting unravels the intricate and heartfelt stories of auto workers, educators, bankers, politicians, and job retrainers in the aftermath of the closure of the nation's oldest operating General Motors plant. With intelligence, empathy, and insightful analysis, Goldstein connects readers with the very real human consequences of economic upheaval. This is a story beyond Janesville; it is a profound American tale that speaks to a broader audience about the struggles and tenacity of the middle class in today’s changing industrial landscape.
