Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture by Ellen Ruppel Shell
3.0
This was an important book to read, but it read more like a textbook than a lot of popular non-fiction books. I learned a lot, but it was not a particularly entertaining read; I know that's not always the point, but I wish I'd been more prepared before I opened the cover.
Entertainment value aside, the book was very accessible, even for someone who somehow manage to take zero business/economics classes in college. Very enlightening discussion on how our economy has changed in such a way that the rich keep getting richer and eliminating more and more jobs, keeping the poor poorer.
