- Abstract
- Australians are much more socially mobile than Americans, but there are worrying signs. Barbara Ehrenreich's book, Nickel and Dimed, is a searing account of life on a low wage in the United States. It's also very funny, which helped guarantee the book a wide readership and months in the bestseller lists in the United States. [Introduction]
