The American Dream Shattered in Lancaster, Ohio
Lancaster, Ohio was once America's quintessential industrial success story-so perfect that Forbes dedicated an entire issue to it in 1947. At its heart stood Anchor Hocking Glass Company, "The Hockin'" as locals called it, which employed nearly a quarter of the town's population by the 1960s. The relationship was symbiotic: when the factory burned in 1924, residents raised funds to rebuild; when the company needed a hotel or hospital, executives helped make it happen. Workers didn't get rich, but they bought homes, raised families, and sent children to college. This wasn't just capitalism-it was a social contract between business and community. What happened to this American success story? A police officer named Eric Brown, watching his hometown crumble under economic devastation and drug addiction, fights back tears in a local pub: "My mom and dad are still here. My son's here. He's raising his son here..." His emotion speaks volumes about what's been lost. Lancaster's transformation from thriving industrial center to struggling, addiction-plagued town wasn't inevitable-it was engineered by Wall Street players who never set foot in the community they dismantled.
