Stayin' Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class by Jefferson R. Cowie

4.0

The first two chapters can be quite dull unless you're invested in labor unions, but the real strength here is in his political and economic analysis of the 1970s. Those chapters are fascinating in a way the rest of the book simply cannot replicate.

I enjoy critical views on film and music as much as the next person, but I must admit he leans on this concept a bit too much in the book, and it becomes quite tiresome. One can only read so much about how angry white men were in movies of the time.
