Global Restructuring and the Power of Labour

Více o knize

The book critically examines narratives of globalization and post-Fordism that claim late Twentieth-century economic changes have negatively impacted labor. Through a comparative analysis of restructuring in the automobile, construction, microelectronics, and finance industries, it argues that the timing and complexity of these changes challenge structural explanations. Instead, it highlights labor's political defeats and institutional weaknesses, offering a nuanced perspective on the evolving conditions of the workforce.
