  1. Barbara Ehrenreich _ Nickel and Dimed: On (Not)

    My aim here was much more straightforward and objective - just to see whether I could match income to expenses, as the truly poor attempt to do every day. Besides, I've had enough unchosen encounters with poverty in my lifetime to know it's not a place you would want to visit for touristic purposes; it just smells too much like fear.
