Millions of Americans work full-time, year-round for poverty level wages. In 1998, journalist Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. The result, the book Nickel and Dimed - or (not) getting by in America', reveals low-wage America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generousity -- a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate strategems for survival.
Since its 2001 release, Nickel and Dimed has hit the New York Times best seller list, launched a thousand conversations, and inspired scores of readers to mail their own stories to Ms. Ehrenreich. On January 31, she will come to the Netherlands to talk about her book in a lecture hosted by the John Adams Institute.
Tickets will be available approximately 4-6 weeks prior to the lecture. For more information, please contact the John Adams Institute at 020-6247280.

Where: Cristofori, Prinsengracht 583, Amsterdam
