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.
Her spirit of experimentation as a social scientist is really worth applauses, for it takes a countless amount of courage and determination to truly turn those ideas into practice. Nonetheless, this book is hard to read for it is somewhat excessively redundant.

评分去了解、感受、思考,作者用于实践强于思考,但困局就是困局,没有外力的帮助很难从这个贫困的恶性循环中跳出来,是为现实的残酷。古今中外同一律。

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...
评分本书第一次出版是在2001年,但时至今日恐怕作者描述的大环境仍然没有很多改变——如果不是更糟的话。作者混入底层去打工,以底层人的标准生活,换了三个州体验不同的工种。有时候她并不能坚持下来。最大的支出是在住房——许多穷人只能一周一周地换条件差极了的旅馆,永远凑不...
评分 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...
