Dodson (sociology, Boston College) describes an underground, if unorganized, world of resistance to economic abuse at the intersection of middle-income and lower-income Americans, such as the mother who leaves work secretly in order to care for her children or the manager who pads his employees' time cards because he knows they are just barely getting by. She explores the ethical views of middle-income and lower-income Americans in work, educational, and health cares settings with regards to economic disparities of pay and treatment and discusses how often people are driven to subverting the rules of their workplaces in order to address what they see as injustice, although she keeps description of the actual tactics and strategies deployed deliberately vague.
