Down the Up Escalator: How the 99 Percent Live in the Great Recession - Product Features
- The Great Recession has thrown huge economic chal?lenges at almost all Americans save the super-affluent 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 even?someday?get ahead. Garson has interviewed an economically and geographically wide variety of Americans to show the pain?ful 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 stag?nation of wages and how it has resulted in an increasingly desperate reliance on credit and a series of ever-larger bubbles?stocks, technology, real estate. This is no way to run an economy, or a democracy.
- From the members of the Pink Slip Club in New York, to a California home health-care aide on the eve of eviction, to a subprime mortgage broker who still thinks it could have worked, Down the Up Escalator presents a sobering picture of what happens to a society when it becomes economically organized to benefit only the very rich and the quick-buck speculators. But it also demonstrates the wit and resilience of ordinary Americans?and why they deserve so much bet?ter than the hand they?ve been dealt.

- While working in a lab just months after graduating with a BA in chemistry, Barbara met Ray Esposito, a real scientist, who had recently experienced a personal tragedy. They began a risky affair, considering themselves "star-crossed lovers." As they worked toward their dream of being together, they were blithely unaware that they were walking over minefields that would eventually threaten Barbara's very survival.
- Their relationship began with life on the lam, starting a family, and establishing a business selling paint removers and recycling dirty solvents. Ultimately the EPA designated Ray's facility as a Superfund site, and Ray became a scapegoat. The publicity was crushing. They never knew where friends and family members really stood, and they were stabbed in the back more than once.
- Things started snowballing in a way that tested not only their love for each other but their sanity. What happened next propelled Barbara into a downward spiral, and alcohol became her crutch. Fueled by the additional strain of her disintegrating relationship with Ray, she kept drinking until the alcohol was driving everything. All she could think about was getting her next drink.
