具体描述
A Washington Post reporter’s intimate account of the fallout from the closing of a General Motors’ assembly plant in Janesville, Wisconsin—Paul Ryan’s hometown—and a larger story of the hollowing of the American middle class.
This is the story of what happens to an industrial town in the American heartland when its factory stills—but it’s not the familiar tale. Most observers record the immediate shock of vanished jobs, but few stay around long enough to notice what happens next, when a community with a can-do spirit tries to pick itself up.
Pulitzer Prize winner Amy Goldstein has spent years immersed in Janesville, Wisconsin where the nation’s oldest operating General Motors plant shut down in the midst of the Great Recession, two days before Christmas of 2008. Now, with intelligence, sympathy, and insight into what connects and divides people in an era of economic upheaval, she makes one of America’s biggest political issues human. Her reporting takes the reader deep into the lives of autoworkers, educators, bankers, politicians, and job re-trainers to show why it’s so hard in the twenty-first century to recreate a healthy, prosperous working class.
For this is not just a Janesville story or a Midwestern story. It’s an American story.

评分这是Michael Moore在其反Trump的纪录片里的一段话，被对方给掐头去尾利用了，但非常强大，富有感染力。Trump的崛起，竟然被一个自由派看的最为真切。Democrat到底和选民有多么脱钩？过于重视身份政治，而忽略了底层工人这些民主党传统的选民群体，最终被Trump打败。真是咎由自...
评分第一次知道铁西区这个地方是在双雪涛的小说里，以前在新闻里，听多了各种关于东北经济问题的探讨，什么如何振兴啦，如何解决就业问题啦，说的大多是产业升级、宏观经济。 而个体的命运在大时代面前往往显得十分的卑微，以至于不值一提。在小说家的眼里，个体和人性是最值得描写...
