First Congregational Church of Oakland says…

Perhaps you can chalk it up to the political fires of 1968: that's the year Barbara Ehrenreich received her Ph.D. in cell biology and promptly set out on a career of progressive activism. Ehrenreich has since written on a wide array of subjects, but her signal issue is the economy. Previously in Nickel and Dimed, and now in This Land Is Their Land, she explores a super-capitalist society in which the deck is stacked against the poor and middle classes. And with the American worker grousing like it's 1992, Ehrenreich's damaging critiques might fall on more receptive ears than usual this election year.
