As Glass House unfolds, bankruptcy looms. With access to the company and its leaders, and Lancaster’s citizens, Alexander shows how financial engineering took hold in the 1980s, accelerated in the 21st Century, and wrecked the company. We follow CEO Sam Solomon as he tries to rescue the company from the New York private equity firm that hired him. Meanwhile, Alexander goes behind the scenes, entwined with the lives of residents as they wrestle with heroin, politics, high- interest lenders, low wage jobs, technology, and the new demands of American life: people like Brian Gossett, the fourth generation to work at Anchor Hocking; Joe Piccolo, first-time director of the annual music festival who discovers the town relies on him, and it, for salvation; Jason Roach, who police believed may have been Lancaster’s biggest drug dealer; and Eric Brown, a local football hero -turned-cop who comes to realize that he can never arrest Lancaster’s real problems. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cSt. Martin's Press |d2017|nAvailable via World Wide Web. 650 0 Income distribution|zUnited States. 650 0 American dream. 650 0 Equality|zUnited States. 651 0 United States|xEconomic conditions|y2001-2009|xRegional disparities. 651 0 United States|xEconomic conditions|y2009-|xRegional disparities. 655 0 Electronic books. 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 856 40 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby|uhttps:// naperville.overdrive.com/media/DED29047-0E18-4EEB-B07F- 62D617A4297A 856 42 |zClick here to access excerpt|uhttps:// samples.overdrive.com/?crid=ded29047-0e18-4eeb-b07f- 62d617a4297a&.epub-sample.overdrive.com
