Globalization : Some Critical Issues Paperback / softback
Edited by Allen Chun
Part of the Critical Interventions: A Forum for Social Analysis series
Paperback / softback
Description
The effects of globalization have led to accentuated social inequality in most first-world countries, above all the U.S. and U.K. International trade and capital flows have tended to redistribute income in ways that aggravate inequality in advanced industrialized nations where relative income levels of the salaried middle class and the working class are being eroded, resulting in a downward mobility of these classes.
At the same time, unwaged forms of labor, including forced labor and slavery, in poorer regions more and more replace wage labor in developed countries.
Informed by an anthropological, humanistic perspective, the contributors in this provocative volume offer critical analyses and alternative visions.
