Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. Leaving her home, she took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. Nickel and Dimed reveals low-rent America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity? exposing the darker side of American prosperity and the true cost of the American dream.

An extraordinary achievement ... surely one of the most gripping political books ever written * Observer * A valuable and illuminating book ... Barbara Ehrenreich is now our premier reporter of the underside of capitalism * New York Times * A funny, humane and important book, a testimony to those who lie forgotten at the bottom of the corporate heap -- Deborah Moggach * Independent * Ehrenreich is one of the great American reporters ... her hawk's eye for detail swoops down on the petty tyrannies of martinet supervisors and the bullying contempt that accompanies contemptuous pay rates. She has an intellectual depth of analysis on this malfunctioning economy that Orwell never attempted in Down and Out in Paris and London or The Road to Wigan Pier -- Polly Toynbee * Guardian * Feels more timely than ever: an undercover journey into the twilight of the US labour market ... it doesn't take a great leap of the imagination to relocate what she discovers to modern Britain -- Claire Allfree * Metro * This account of being exploited in an affluent world is elevated by her humanity and humour * Sunday Times *
