I enjoyed reading this insightful book. There are so many places in it where I thought "Oh, that makes sense." Now I understand what the "third wave" is and its inherent problems.

A well put together of the many complicated issues making the poor poorer in the US. Ehrenreich writes accessibly and concisely explaining the economic and social issues intertwining itself. The US centric analysis allowed for in depth data analysis but does definitely disregard all the "foreign" reasons the American Dream is so threatened (i.e. immigrant experiences don't really factor into this analysis). Nevertheless, a depressingly true story of the US.
