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。

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...
评分看到豆瓣上的那些吐槽,怀疑真的读了这本书吗? 让人拙计啊。 这说的主要是一个中产女作家,为了体验blue collar人民的生活,分别跑去了美国的三个地方,做角色体验:没有住所的单身母亲。 她必须找到工作,最低工资 必须找到住的地方,这个有点复杂,因为她会付更多的钱住MOTE...
