Down the Up Escalator: How the 99 Percent Live in… di Barbara Garson

Reading this book makes me want to throw it across the room and kick it a bit. The stories are infuriating, stressful, and aggravating, while simultaneously demonstrating the resilience and persistence of those who are convinced that hard work will pull them out of a ruined economy. Definitely not a fun read, but interesting to get some perspective on what else was happening during the years right after I graduated and was looking for work.

MacBird di Barbara Garson

A nasty little version of MacBeth that is rewritten for the Kennedy Johnson controversy.

This is a very insightful look at how the Great Recession has affected people from a variety of economic and social backgrounds.
