Toxic Masculinity, Casino Capitalism, and America's Favorite Card Game: The Poker Mindset

Andrew Manno, "Toxic Masculinity, Casino Capitalism, and America's Favorite Card Game: The Poker Mindset"
English | ISBN: 3030402592 | 2020 | 208 pages | PDF | 3 MB

Poker is a centuries-old American game. Why has it become so popular in the twenty-first century? What does current interest in the game tell us about ourselves and some of our most pressing social issues? In this timely and thought-provoking book, Andrew Manno offers important insights into the intersection of gaming, gender, and capitalism that illuminate how the shift to a casino capitalist economy―combined with a culture of toxic masculinity―impacts workers and how it has led to the rise of populism in the United States that manifested in the 2016 election of Donald Trump.
