The bestselling, landmark work of undercover reportage, now updated Acclaimed as an instant classic upon publication, Nickel and Dimed has sold more than 1.5 million copies and become a staple of classroom reading. Chosen for “one book” initiatives across the country, it has fueled nationwide campaigns for a living wage. Funny, poignant, and passionate, this revelatory firsthand account of life in low-wage America—the story of Barbara Ehrenreich’s attempts to eke out a living while working as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Wal-Mart associate—has become an essential part of the nation’s political discourse. Now, in a new afterword, Ehrenreich shows that the plight of the underpaid has in no way eased: with fewer jobs available, deteriorating work conditions, and no pay increase in sight, Nickel and Dimed is more relevant than ever.
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.

前阵知乎上曾讨论过“生活大爆炸”中Penny的收入能否真的让她过得比较滋润,当时有人引据各种美国的生活数据,证明她是可以过得还不错的。不久之后又看到这本亲历女服务员生活的书,才发现了阳光下的另一面。 《我在底层的生活》,也就是芭芭拉的《Nickel and Dimed》。在《社...
評分有意思,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 ...
評分书就是书名所说的,我在底层的生活。 “我”, 芭芭拉,美国畅销书作者,生活水平属于上游20%的人。有天在一个颇为奢华的法式乡村风饭店跟《哈泼》杂志的编辑讨论未来可以替他们写什么文章,当话题转到贫穷时,说了一句“实在应该有人去做一些老式的新闻调查工作,就是自己实...
評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...
