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.

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...
評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...
評分最近两三年,中文网络世界发生了一个明显的话语变化:穷人的形象从整体相对正面或至少是得到同情,几乎180度地转向负面——穷人,包括贫困地区、底层阶级,越来越明显成为批判与嘲讽的对象。在一开始,这种转变还多为个案性的叙述与道德评价(比如讲述一个贫穷的亲戚如何想方设...
