1. Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
from Holt Paperbacks

Customer Review:
This was me! For those who reviewed the book and said that Ehrenreich was "unrealistic", I'm going to share my story. Several years ago my ex-boyfriend and I could have been in the book; we were each working a full-time job and he also had TWO part-time jobs at the same time (one after his full-time... more info

2. The Craftsman The Craftsman
from Yale University Press
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
There is quite a bit of sociological theory in this book, but that's been discussed by other reviewers, so I'll not go into detail here, but I'll just discuss my gripe: data.
I expected to see some real data to corroborate Sennett's beliefs, but he offers mainly anecdotes, with lots of literary... more info

3. Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
I loved it. It was a page turner. It was a nice balance of serious ... very serious stuff about working lives of the full-time, barely-making-it workers ... mixed in with Ehrenreich's sense of humor. Oh, and it brought back memories of all those jobs (I've had a million of `em!) that paid terribly... more info

4. The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker (Borzoi Books) The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker (Borzoi Books)
from Knopf
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:
Greenhouse's focus is to ask "Why, in the world's most affluent nation, are so many corporations intent on squeezing their workers dry?" Corporate profits, economic growth, and worker productivity have grown strongly, while pay has languished. Median income for non-elderly households in 2006 was... more info

5. Moonlighting on the Internet Moonlighting on the Internet
from Entrepreneur Press
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:
Ok, so there is SOME good info in this book. But by and large it will not teach you how to set up your busines and/or website. It's more of a brag book. They author inserts many websites, most of which will profit him or his "colleagues" if you purchase from these sites. I thought of the book as... more info

7. Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (Borzoi Books) Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (Borzoi Books)
from Knopf
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:

This is a very good, clearly written and authoritative book. It is of particular interest to me for it explains why capitalism has developed to be instrumental in the present world crisis for civilisation. The author does not claim this but if one extrapolates supercapitalism's explosion of... more info

8. Encore: Finding Work that Matters in the Second Half of Life Encore: Finding Work that Matters in the Second Half of Life
from PublicAffairs
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
Tabloid-style headlines have infected even mainstream magazines and newspapers in recent years. Articles about the coming "Social Security Disaster" vie for attention next to those on industry's inability to overcome the "Loss Of Baby Boomer Talent" or even fears that "Baby Boomers Will Retire Into... more info

9. Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself
from Business Plus
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I found this book inspirational in the sense that before the four-minute mile barrier for running was broken, people felt it couldn't be achieved. However, once the record was broken, others were inspired to strive for their own sub-four-minute records.
As Dan Pink presents the stories and... more info

10. The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (Great Minds Series) The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (Great Minds Series)
from Prometheus Books
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
John Maynard Keynes is the collectivist's savior. Finally, the welfare statist thinks, someone who actually makes my ideas sound good to economists. Unfortunately, Keynes's theory is nothing new. It should be incredibly obvious to any non-professional that if a large entity (government) decides to... more info
