I had to read Barbara Ehrenreich’s book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America for one of my classes. The funny thing was that I wanted to read that book anyway and I still want to read its sequel Bait and Switch. So I guess I picked the right program to study.

Anyway, it was a very good book. I highly recommend reading it, it was fascinating. My professor shared with us this clip to day and I figured I’d post it. Apparently there is a “dramatic-documentary-musical” called The American Ruling Class that this clip is from. It has a catchy little song at the end :)
