C-SPAN and Ehrenreich, mostly not archived anymore: one transcript, 1989, but BookNotes is working on getting all past booknotes archived as internet streamed video: booknotes.org Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America from June 3, 2001 Author Barbara Ehrenreich discusses her book about the difficulty of living adequately in America on low-wages. In 1998, Ms. Ehrenreich left her Florida home to become one of the working poor to see if she could secure adequate housing and food on her wages. She took a number of low-wage jobs, such as Walmart sales clerk, waitress, hotel maid, and so on. She talks about some of her year-long experiences, persons she worked with, and hopes for changes in the future. booktv.org Additionally "Encore BookNotes", as recently as July 10, 2004: Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class Encore Booknotes from July 10, 2004 More Information Barbara Ehrenreich was a guest on Booknotes in 1989 to discuss her book "Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class." In her book, Ms. Ehrenreich talks about the U.S. middle class and what she views as a selfishness on their part when it comes to wealth and power in the country. PS Luckily it has been easy to "tape" (capture) the internet-streaming of C-SPAN for some 3-4 years. PPS Ehrenreich also toured europe then and "it had a big effect" on many.
