About this audiobook

Driven Wealth: The Rise and Fall and Future of the North American Auto Dream takes readers on an insightful journey through the rise, transformation, and uncertain future of the North American auto industry. From humble beginnings in the early 20th century to its central role in shaping the middle-class dream, the book explores how the automobile sector built—and later redefined—wealth across the continent. Christopher M. Michaud examines the deep link between industrial innovation and societal prosperity, showing how the assembly line revolutionized production and enabled an era of broad-based economic growth. He also traces the global pressures and structural shifts that have challenged the industry’s foundation. As it faces a new era of automation, electrification, and economic uncertainty, Driven Wealth asks whether the auto industry can once again support shared prosperity—or whether its evolution will leave communities behind.
