BIG SQUEEZE, THE(ISBN=) 英文原版

“Steve Greenhouse has written the essential economic book for
2008. Long before most analysts noticed the downturn, Greenhouse
was reporting how troubled our economy looked from the bottom-up. A
hugely talented reporter with a passion for justice, a shrewd
student of the new economy and a brilliant guide to the
contemporary labor movement, Greehouse writes with clarity, energy
and grace.”—E. J. Dionne Jr. “Steven Greenhouse’s brilliant and
vividly reported exposé shows how employers have been squeezing the
life out of American workers, through means both legal and
illegal.  My blood boiled when I read The Big
Squeeze.  Any presidential candidate–or voter–who
overlooks this book will be clueless about what’s really going on
in America.”—Barbara Ehrenreich”In this shocking and important
book, Steven Greenhouse explains–and tells the stories–of how U.S.
workers are paying the price for the lower labor standards and
wages that are the result of poorly-managed globalization.”—Joseph
E. Stiglitz“Excellent and relentless . . . Greenhouse’s book gives
a convincing portrait of a business culture that has been more and
more aggressive toward workers.”—Jeff Madrick, New York Review
of Books“An excellent book . . . Greenhouse exhibits outrage
and moral indignation and an idealism one doesn’t necessarily
expect from a hard-bitten New York Times reporter.”—The
Washington Monthly“Important and infuriating.”—Chicago
Tribune“Riveting . . . a sobering examination of a growing
American crisis, and . . . nothing short of brilliant.”—Tucson
Citizen“New York Times labor correspondent Greenhouse
drops a bombshell on local bookstores . . . Greenhouse’s clear and
level prose is investigative journalism at its finest.”—Rocky
Mountain News“Greenhouse’s The Big Squeeze is a fresh,
probing look at the critical issues facing both blue- and
white-collar American workers . . . The Big Squeeze will be
an eye-opener for many. Don’t miss it.”—Providence
Journal-Bulletin“The power of Greenhouse’s book lies . . . in
its reporting, especially on low-wage workers . . . his best
material vividly focuses on the always difficult and often abusive
working conditions of low-paid employees. Such stories get far too
little airing and rarely are they so well told.”—Business
Week“Greenhouse paints a wrenching protrait of decent people
who, by no fault of their own, have been fired, demoted, downsized,
displaced, abandoned . . . Greenhouse’s picture should unnerve
anyone committed to a stable future for American
democracy.”—Patrick J. Deneen, American
Conservative“[Greenhouse’s] reporting skills serve his book’s
readers well.”—Washington Post “A book . . . that will
confirm your worst suspicions and fears, open your eyes and turn
your stomach.”—The Buffalo News“Greenhouse has mastered
labor market economics in a way few journalists do . . . his
profiles are . . . rich in evoking sympathy and understanding for
workers who struggle to both adapt and resist . . . The Big
Squeeze becomes the one essential book on today’s American
workplace.”—Jack Metzgar, Dissent
