Title: Karl Marx would be proud
Review: At risk of ruining the book for you, Ehrenreich thinks that welfare reform was a horrible idea and it will cause the downfall of western civilization. First off, her approach is hardly scientific. In fact, she quit the experiment whenever she became sick of the work. To make matters worse, all that we have here is socialist propaganda. Ehrenreich quotes Marx and Mao more than she makes mention of welfare reform. She speaks of being "proletarianized" and of the evil "bourgeoisies", who is, according to her, anyone who can afford food, shelter, and clothing and will have a little left in the pocket book. Little does she realize that in her real life, she would be considered bourgeoisies. If I were you, I'd be mindful of the communist revolution, that, according to Ehrenreich, seems to be on the horizon.
