The American Way of Death Revisited, a Landmark Expose on the Funeral Industry In the world of death, there is no shortage of drama, intrigue, and absurdity. Jessica Mitford's groundbreaking expose, The American Way of Death Revisited, delves into the inner workings of the funeral industry, exposing the unscrupulous practices of those in the business and the devastating impact they have on grieving families. First published in 1963, this landmark book became an instant bestseller and paved the way for legislation that protects consumers from such predatory practices. Now, with her updated version, Mitford tackles new trends that have emerged in the industry, including inflated cremation costs, telemarketing of prepaid grave sites, and the influence of multinational corporations. With her sharp wit and incisive analysis, Mitford sheds light on the darker side of the deathcare industry, revealing the tactics used by lobbyists to sway lawmakers in Washington and the exorbitant prices charged for even the most basic services. She also explores the effects of monopolies on the industry, leaving readers with a sense of unease and discomfort. But amidst the darkness, there is hope.
The American Way of Death Revisited, ориентир на похоронную индустрию В мире смерти нет недостатка в драме, интригах и абсурде. Новаторское разоблачение Джессики Митфорд, The American Way of Death Revisited, углубляется во внутреннюю работу похоронной индустрии, разоблачая недобросовестную практику тех, кто занимается бизнесом, и разрушительное воздействие, которое они оказывают на скорбящие семьи. Впервые опубликованная в 1963 году, эта знаковая книга мгновенно стала бестселлером и проложила путь к законодательству, защищающему потребителей от подобных хищнических практик. Теперь с ее обновленной версией Mitford занимается новыми тенденциями, которые появились в отрасли, включая завышенные расходы на кремацию, телемаркетинг предоплаченных мест захоронения и влияние транснациональных корпораций. Своим острым остроумием и острым анализом Митфорд проливает свет на темную сторону индустрии ухода за больными, раскрывая тактику, используемую лоббистами, чтобы повлиять на законодателей в Вашингтоне, и непомерные цены, взимаемые даже за самые базовые услуги. Она также исследует влияние монополий на индустрию, оставляя читателям чувство беспокойства и дискомфорта. Но среди темноты есть надежда.
