Analysis In the book Nickel and Dimed On (not) Getting By In America Barbara Ehrenreich writes of her experiences as she makes an attempt to be a part of the “working poor” in America. Her goal was to see if living comfortably was possible on a very low income, as a single woman with no children. “In 1998 – the year I started this project – it took, on average nationwide, an hourly wage of $8.89 to afford a one-bedroom apartment, and the Preamble Center for Public Policy was estimating that the odds against a typical welfare recipient’s landing a job at such a “living wage” were about 97 to 1” (3). Going into the project she knew there was a good chance that it would be difficult but was optimistic she could do it. She came up with a bare bones resume and got started.
When she set off on her mission to find a job, she applied everywhere from the “Best Western” (88) to the “Winn Dixie” (88). In doing so, She discovered one common factor that may be keeping some from work and that is drug testing, to even be hired most places require a urine sample even in such jobs that only require you to “stack cheerio boxes or vacuum hotel rooms”(89). After days on end of no luck, no phone calls, no interviews she realized herself and showed just how hard it can be to find a low wage job. Another thing she shows while conducting her experiment is that it is hard to keep a permanent home on a low wage income. She mentions early in her essay the average wage at a no skill required low wage job is six to seven dollars an hours and according to the Coalition for the Homeless in 1998 it took an hourly wage of” 8.89 to afford a one bedroom apartment.

In the fairly recent past, different labels used to be enough to designate right wing thinking.

As a matter of fact, "Neoliberalism is not just economics: it is a social and moral philosophy, in some aspects qualitatively different from liberalism" (Neoliberalism: origins, theory, definition, 2005).
The world being flat is symbolically described in Friedman’s novel for his theory of imminent total globalization. Ghemawat otherwise disagrees, he feels that national borders nevertheless have a bearing on the global economy.
