Reviews
"Reading Ehrenreich is good for the soul." (Molly Ivins) "Ehrenreich is passionate, public, hotly lucid, and politically engaged." (Chicago Tribune) "Ehrenreich's scorn withers, her humor stings, and her radical light shines on." (The Boston Globe) "One of today's most original writers." (The New York Times) "Barbara Ehrenreich is smart, provocative, funny, and sane in a world that needs more of all four."(Diane Sawyer)

Synopsis
In an attempt to understand the lives of Americans earning near-minimum wages, Ehrenreich works as a waitress in Florida, a cleaning woman in Maine, and a sales clerk in Minnesota., Our sharpest and most original social critic goes "undercover" as an unskilled worker to reveal the dark side of American prosperity. Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job -- any job -- can be the ticket to a better life. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, she worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. She lived in trailer parks and crumbling residential motels. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly "unskilled," that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She also learned that one job is not enough; you need at least two if you int to live indoors. Nickel and Dimed reveals low-rent America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity -- a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate stratagems for survival. Read it for the smoldering clarity of Ehrenreich's perspective and for a rare view of how "prosperity" looks from the bottom. You will never see anything -- from a motel bathroom to a restaurant meal -- in quite the same way again.

- _***c (1)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoQuality and condition of the product was exactly as described. Value was spot on and packaging was very protected. Best experience with a seller I’ve ever had. Highly responsive and did all that was possible to get the package to me quickly. It arrived even earlier than anticipated.
- a***- (1)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Più di un anno faAcquisto verificatoThe product is exactly as described and of perfect quality, but most importantly I want to say the seller went far above and beyond anything I could have asked for. They encouraged me not to make impulse purchases but to take my time and ensure it was a purchase I wanted. I wanted to get the book in time for Valentines' Day and they gave me a large list of shipping options, not just from one vendor, but from multiple. I can not say how much they exceeded my expectations. They deserve the worldMalcolm Gladwell “Talking to Strangers” SIGNED book Hardcover 1st/1st (N° 166350801926)
