Publisher's Note The social commentator and author of The Worst Years of Our Lives presents a satirical critique that denounces the twenty-first-century's first political decade as the cruelest in memory, in a report that analyzes such modern challenges as political and corporate corruption, the widening economic gap, and a rise in extreme conservatism.
Industry Reviews "Provocative, angry and funny, often at the same time--just don't try to read it all in sitting." (04/01/2008)
"[T]he best of the pieces are something quite different from journalism. They are small absurdist gems. Ms. Ehrenreich will take a familiar social or cultural inequity, and then take it too far, and then take it so far that it metamorphoses into a disbelieving belief....[T]here are times she is closer to Dean Swift with his Modest Proposal to alleviate starvation by cooking and eating babies."
