Essay in which the author compares of precarious life of an average citizen in contemporary capitalist Edison, New Jersey, with such a life in a “slightly idealized version of Sweden” where a eutopian socialist system exists. The title is taken from Michael Walzer’s “A Day in the Life of a Socialist Citizen: Two Cheers for Participatory Democracy.” Dissent (May-June 1968): 243-47, which focuses on the subtitle.
