Cut Loose - Jobless and Hopeless in an Unfair Economy (Paperback)

Years after the Great Recession, the economy is still weak, and an
unprecedented number of workers have sunk into long spells of
unemployment. Cut Loose provides a vivid and moving account of the
experiences of some of these men and women, through the example of
a historically important group: autoworkers. Their well-paid jobs
on the assembly lines built a strong middle class in the decades
after World War II. But today, they find themselves beleaguered in
a changed economy of greater inequality and risk, one that favors
the well-educated or well-connected. Their declining fortunes in
recent decades tell us something about what the white-collar
workforce should expect to see in the years ahead, as job-killing
technologies and the shipping of work overseas take away even more
good jobs. Cut Loose offers a poignant look at how the long-term
unemployed struggle in today's unfair economy to support their
families, rebuild their lives, and overcome the shame and
self-blame they deal with on a daily basis. It is also a call to
action a blueprint for a new kind of politics, one that offers a
measure of grace in a society of ruthless advancement.
