Barbara Ehrenreich is an American writer and political activist who describes herself as "a myth buster by trade", and has been called "a veteran muckraker" by The New Yorker.
During the 1980s and early 1990s she was a prominent figure in the Democratic Socialists of America. She is a widely read and award-winning columnist and essayist, and author of 21 books.
Ehrenreich is perhaps best known for her 2001 book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America. A memoir of Ehrenreich's three-month experiment surviving on minimum wage as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Wal-Mart clerk, it was described by Newsweek magazine as "jarring" and "full of riveting grit",and by The New Yorker as an "exposé" putting "human flesh on the bones of such abstractions as 'living wage' and 'affordable housing'"
She lives near Key West, Florida.

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.

评分记得以前有次晚上打的，和司机聊天，司机挺年轻，开车不少年了，他看上去很疲累，说自己白天睡觉，晚上交班，作息和一般人相反，我问他晚上可以拉到活吗，他说可以，尤其是深夜酒吧旁边总有不少人。他说做司机很辛苦，自己也不想做了，但是没有办法，太累，没有时间和精力去学...
评分有意思，文中美元换成人民币就是前几年我在二线城市的收入和消费水平，简直一模一样！ 10年我在沃尔玛工作，时薪是7.5元。一个月加满班230个小时（规定加班不能超过50小时好像），这样一个月扣去社保到手就只有1400元不到。离市区近的地方出租的小隔间（十平不到） 一个月房租 ...
评分不同于电视情景喜剧和好莱坞电影中的美国，另一个美国是一个被其自身忽视的隐密大陆。很少见诸报道的关于美国梦的真相就是，这个国家也存在着分布广泛、不断增长和不可避免的贫穷。在这个国家中，那些做着基础工作的人们，只能拿到低于生存标准的薪资。 芭芭拉•艾伦瑞克潜...
评分大一上专业课的时候，有位讲师貌似简略提起过这本书，所以在网上碰巧遇到时就下单购买了。具体是不是这本书我也不是很清楚，但即使不是，内容也是相似的，起码讨论的话题有交叠。 读书最忌囫囵吞枣，而合上书本以后，我陷入思考，不想“浪费”，于是写下此文记录自己不成熟的看...

在飞机上看书时，旁边的美国大妈跟我说虽然距离这本书第一次出版已经几十年了，但是书里面描写的美国蓝领们的生活不仅没有改善，反而变得更差。现在很期待下学年老师要怎么来讨论这“物价飞涨但是工资不变”的现象。
评分But lapham got this crazy-looking half smile on his face and ended life as I knew it, for long stretches at least, with the single word "you." 这本书的开头告诉我们一个真理“no zuo no die, you zuo you die”XDDD。具体的内容还在研读中
评分趁着年轻多看看
