Editorial Reviews
Review
"An impressive spectrum of the existing evidence about how globalization is affecting labor. ...makes effective use of the current literature and research dealing with globalization. The book's reference section reflects extensive research and can serve as a valuable compilation of information on the existing research and debate. For some key aspects of globalization that involve underground economies and activities for which data are very limited or missing, the author provides extensive discussion. ...[a] fine book."--Monthly Labor Review
"An excellent book evaluating a range of widely held beliefs concerning globalization's potentially adverse labor market outcomes for workers...Highly recommended."--CHOICE
