Public intellectual: Hochschild has been invited to speak before the Democratic Congressional Caucus, done Q&As and interviews with The Washington Post and NPR, and placed opinion pieces in The Nation, The Boston Globe, and elsewhere.

Constant news opportunities: The historical moment that made this book so relevant – the election of Donald Trump to the white house – is an ongoing concern. The light the book sheds on the average voter will be of urgent importance during the upcoming midterm elections in 2018
