Running on Empty: Along an Epic 12,000-Mile Road Trip America Has Its Say on Economic Inequality
Peter Michael, author
Running on Empty is an American road book in the mold of Steinbeck's Travels With Charley, Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways and Kerouac's On The Road. Unlike during their travels, Americans had something particular to say along the road in Running on Empty: a steady drumbeat of hardship stories, nearly all relating to the now emerging national conversation on middle class economic stagnation.
