Bestselling author Barbara Ehrenreich unleashes her razor-sharp wit on the hypocrites, profiteers, and hucksters of the 1980s. From the Teflon presidency of Ronald Reagan to the shameless greed of Wall Street, Ehrenreich's elegantly scathing essays skewer the decade's most notorious offenders. With biting humor and uncompromising conviction, she holds the powerful accountable, giving voice to the voiceless and championing a return to human decency in a world gone mad.
