The Big Squeeze -- Tough Times For The American Worker
Steven Greenhouse, Alfred A. Knopf, 2008.
Shocking summary of wage loss, job loss, health and pension loss, and loss of job security in America. Though this book is written by a basically liberal writer (Steven was the labor and workplace correspondent for The New York Times), I have always believed that liberals (including feminists) have accurate observations about what's wrong in life. Their problem is that they never can come up with good, correct, or any answers that WORK as solutions. And, many if not most of the problems are created by them. We need CONSERVATISM for the answers. At any rate, here are the chapter titles:
"Worked Over and Overworked", "Workplace Hell", "The Vise Tightens", "Downright Dickensian", "The Rise and Fall of the Social Contract", "Leaner and Meaner", "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow", "Wal-Mart, the Low-Wage Colossus", "Taking the High Road", "Overstressed and Overstretched", "Outsourced and Out of Luck", "The Lowest Rung", "The State of the Unions", "Starting Out Means a Steeper Climb", "The Not-So-Golden Years", "Lifting All Boats".
