Description

Peabody and Emmy Awardwinning journalist Jane Marie expands on her popular podcastThe Dreamto expose the scourge of multilevel marketing schemes and how they have profited off the evisceration of the American working class.

We've all heard of Amway, Mary Kay, Tupperware, and LuLaRoe, but few know the nefarious way they, and countless other multilevel marketing (MLM) companies, prey on desperate Americans struggling to make ends meet.

When factories close, stalwart industries shutter, and blue-collar opportunities evaporate, MLMs are there, ready to pounce on the crumbling American Dream. MLMs thrive in rural areas and on military bases, targeting women with promises of being their own boss and millions of dollars in easy incomeeven at the risk of their entire life savings. But the vast majority99.7%of those who join an MLM make no money or lose money, and wind up stuck with inventory they can't sell to recoup their losses.

Selling the Dream ';is an urgent and riveting expos' (Publishers Weekly, starred review) that reveals how these companiesoften owned by political and corporate elites, such as the DeVos and the Van Andel familieshave made a windfall in profit off of the desperation of the American working class.
