Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
lilyfysche avatar reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


This was a surprisingly interesting read. It is a well written and engaging personal account of a journalist's sojourn into the depths of 'working-class' America in order to meaningfully engage with the Welfare Reform debate that raged through the country during the 90's. I believe every American should read this book, if for nothing other than to make us a little more tolerant of those who share our world.
