One of our most incisive and committed journalistsauthor of the classic All the Livelong Dayshows us the real human cost of our economic follies.The Great Recession has thrown huge economic challenges at almost all Americans save the superaffluent few, and we are only now beginning to reckon up the human toll it is taking. Down the Up Escalator is an urgent dispatch from the front lines of our vast collective struggle to keep our heads above water and maybe evensomedayget ahead. Garson has interviewed an economically and geographically wide variety of Americans to show the painful waste in all this loss and insecurity, and describe how individuals are coping. Her broader historical focus, though, is on the causes and consequences of the long stagnation of wages and how it has resulted in an increasingly desperate reliance on credit and a series of everlarger bubblesstocks, technology, real estate. This is no way to run an economy, or a democracy.
