Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses the adverse effects of globalisation and liberalisation - manifest in the increased financialisation of capital and the concomitant global financial crisis - on the labour force in different countries, especially the developing ones. It also critically re-assesses the role of informal sector in providing employment, and the potential of trade unions in protecting workers' interests.
