America's Death Spiral

From the corrosive influence of money in politics and the stranglehold of corporate monopolies to the failures of education, healthcare, and infrastructure, this book exposes the interconnected forces driving America's decline. Svedlund explores how the erosion of truth, accountability, and civic responsibility has created a society addicted to spectacle, paralysed by division, and governed by fear rather than principle.

From the decline of the middle class and the weaponisation of education to mass shootings, decaying infrastructure, and a democracy under siege, Svedlund takes readers through twenty-five critical fault lines weakening the very structure of the United States of America. But this is not a eulogy-it is a warning and a call to action.

Blending investigative insight with a global perspective, American Death Spiral confronts the myths Americans tell themselves-and dares the reader to imagine a different outcome. One that does not end in silence at the bottom of a void.
This is more than critique-it's a call to clarity. American Death Spiral invites readers to confront uncomfortable truths, connect the dots across seemingly unrelated crises, and ask themselves, "Is there still time to pull out of the dive?"

Urgent, fearless, and unrelenting, this book is a must-read for anyone who refuses to accept the slow-motion unravelling of the American experiment.
