清晨7点零7分,最后一辆雪佛兰塔霍(Tahoe)驶下生产线。外面的天还暗着,气温15华氏度(约零下9摄氏度),积雪厚33英寸—几乎是12月降雪的最高纪录—一阵刺骨的寒风横扫过占地数英亩的停车场。 简斯维尔装配厂里灯火通明,人头攒动。准备走出工厂迎接未知将来的工人,与陆续走...

A Washington Post reporter’s intimate account of the fallout from the closing of a General Motors’ assembly plant in Janesville, Wisconsin—Paul Ryan’s hometown—and a larger story of the hollowing of the American middle class.
This is the story of what happens to an industrial town in the American heartland when its factory stills—but it’s not the familiar tale. Most observers record the immediate shock of vanished jobs, but few stay around long enough to notice what happens next, when a community with a can-do spirit tries to pick itself up.
Pulitzer Prize winner Amy Goldstein has spent years immersed in Janesville, Wisconsin where the nation’s oldest operating General Motors plant shut down in the midst of the Great Recession, two days before Christmas of 2008. Now, with intelligence, sympathy, and insight into what connects and divides people in an era of economic upheaval, she makes one of America’s biggest political issues human. Her reporting takes the reader deep into the lives of autoworkers, educators, bankers, politicians, and job re-trainers to show why it’s so hard in the twenty-first century to recreate a healthy, prosperous working class.
For this is not just a Janesville story or a Midwestern story. It’s an American story.
虽然这本书是以叙事的方式基本平铺了过程,但因此可读性高读起来快,给读者提供了快速直接多方角度的what happened,而当时我仍在国内其实并不是很理解到底发生了什么,所以此书弥补了许多我的空白。但确实不是一本善分析有深度的书。

评分这本同去年大热的Hillbilly Elegy一样,都可以作为对Trump获胜的理解,Janesville是Wisconsin的一个缩影(32年来第一次投给共和党)。内容关于2008年金融危机时,Jansville汽车产业的衰落,工人失业,家庭流离,连锁企业跟着倒闭。以及随后几年如何安抚、如何振兴、for homeless children: project 16:49,蓝领的美国梦。Janesville对国人很陌生,其实它曾经拥有GM历史最悠久的工厂,主要产品线是针对SUV,SUV需求下降后,工厂便也关闭。GM或Lear都是我曾耳熟的企业,如今也依旧还是令人自豪的大公司,人们不会忘记的吗?希望有人记录我们的国企下岗潮。评论待补。靠谱友邻推荐。audible。
