“Here’s the travel book the chamber of commerce doesn’t want you to have. It shows you the way to places of great beauty, but it also invites you into the parts of real America that other books avoid—gated communities in small towns, homeless kids in our cites, poor people of color toiling at arduous and poorly-paid labor, burgeoning economic inequality, and environmental destruction in our national parks. Read this book. It might change the way you see our country the next time you travel.”—Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Thieves In High Places.
MICHAEL D. YATES is an expert on labor and economics, who taught at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, PA. & is currently an Associate Editor of the Monthly Review. Available on Amazon at: Cheap Motels and a Hot Plate: An Economist's Travelogue
