![]() ![]() ![]() The head of the publishing house, my friend Sara Bershtel, handed it to me and asked me to tell her what I thought. Just one small memory: as the last century ended, I was working as an editor at a remarkable publishing house, Metropolitan Books, when the manuscript for Nickel and Dimed arrived on our doorstep. She wrote for TomDispatch for years and, in 2011, I posted this epilogue to the 10th anniversary edition of her famed book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, by which time it had already sold almost two million copies. ![]() As I’m sure most of you know by now, thanks to a wave of coverage - ranging from a New York Times obituary to a moving piece by Deirdre English, the former editor-in-chief of Mother Jones magazine - Barbara Ehrenreich died on September 1st at 81. It’s with both sadness and pleasure that I post this evening’s Best of TomDispatch piece. ![]()
