The Once and Future Worker: A Vision for the Renewal of Work in America is a nonfiction policy book by Oren Cass that argues for a major rethinking of American economic priorities. Rather than treating consumer choice, aggregate growth, or higher GDP as the main goals of public policy, Cass places the quality of work at the center of prosperity. The book is best understood as a political economy argument with a strong normative dimension: it claims that a healthy society depends on labor markets that allow ordinary workers to support stable families, participate in communities, and earn social respect through productive activity. Written in response to long-running debates over stagnating wages, globalization, welfare, trade, and labor-market change, the book challenges both laissez-faire conservatism and progressive approaches that Cass sees as incomplete. Its purpose is not simply to diagnose economic frustration, but to propose a framework for rebuilding work as a foundation of national life.
