Worker productivity has roughly doubled since 1979. Typical pay has grown about a third of that. That gap didn't happen by accident, and it isn't a story about anyone's character — it's a design problem. The connection between what the economy produces and what workers earn came loose, and nothing was ever built to hold it in place.

The Alignment Economy names the missing part: the National Productivity Unit, a measuring stick that ties pay to what the economy actually produces — the same way a thermostat setting isn't heat, just the number the system holds steady around. The audiobook walks through how the gap opened, what it costs real households today, and what an actual fix looks like.

This bundle includes the full audiobook, plus both companion documents: the Technical Appendix (the complete NPU formula, the EEBV methodology, and the math behind every claim in the book) and the Legislative Framework (a full draft of how this could actually become law). Listen to the argument, then check the math yourself.
