- Chapter 11: "How Corporate Capture Broke the American Family" — the connection between economic insecurity and family formation, fertility rates, and the "Make America Healthy Again" movement

Reflect & Discuss
If you took the Week 4 amendment deep-dive challenge, share your analysis in Team Chat this week. The "Three-Legged Milking Stool" metaphor: corporate profits, the captured nonprofit sector, and the AI displacement narrative. Evaluate the book's claim that nonprofits and foundations function as instruments of corporate capture rather than as counterweights to it. Is this a fair characterization of the philanthropic sector? What evidence supports or contradicts it?
