While members of the moneyed elite have bought up congressmen, many in the working class can barely buy lunch. While a wealthy minority obsessively consumes cosmetic surgery, the poor often go without health care for their children. And while the Masters of the Universe have thrown themselves into the casino economy, the less fortunate have been fed a diet of morality, marriage, and abstinence. With perfect satiric pitch, Ehrenreich reveals a country scarred by deepening inequality, corroded by distrust, and shamed by its official cruelty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFull of wit and generosity, these reports from a divided nation--including new and unpublished essays--confirm once again that Ehrenreich is, as the \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e proclaims, essential reading.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara Ehrenreich \u003c\/b\u003e(1941-2022) was a bestselling author and political activist, whose more than a dozen books included \u003ci\u003eNickel and Dimed\u003c\/i\u003e, which the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003edescribed as a classic in social justice literature, \u003ci\u003e Bait and Switch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBright-sided\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThis Land Is Their Land\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDancing In The Streets, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlood Rites\u003c\/i\u003e.
