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. 606 $aUnemployed$zUnited States 606 $aUnemployed$zCanada 606 $aAutomobile industry workers$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aAutomobile industry workers$zCanada$vCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions 607 $aCanada$xEconomic conditions 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions 607 $aCanada$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUnemployed 615 0$aUnemployed 615 0$aAutomobile industry workers 615 0$aAutomobile industry workers 676 $a331.13/70973 700 $aChen$b Victor Tan$f1976-$01043109 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464093403321 996 $aCut loose$92467840 997 $aUNINA
