The book Newsweek's Anna Quindlen said "should be
required reading for every presidential candidate and member
of Congress."
Following its publication in
hardcover, the critically acclaimed The Betrayal of
Work became one of the most influential policy books
about economic life in America; it was discussed in the
pages of Newsweek, Business Week, Fortune, the Washington
Post, Newsday, and USA Today, as well as in
public policy journals and in broadcast interviews,
including a one-on-one with Bill Moyers on PBS's Now.
The American Prospect's James K. Galbraith's praise
was typical: "Shulman's slim and graceful book is a model
combination of compelling portraiture, common sense, and
understated conviction."
Beth Shulman's powerfully
argued book offers a full program to address the injustice
faced by the 30 million Americans who work full time but do
not make a living wage. As the influential Harvard
Business School newsletter put it, Shulman "specifically
outlines how structural changes in the economy may be
achieved, thus expanding opportunities for all Americans."
This edition includes a new afterword that intervenes in the
post-election debate by arguing that low-wage work is an
urgent moral issue of our time.
