Description
This excellent new volume in the series from the Society for Economic Anthropology focuses on the role of labor in contrasting world economies.
The contributors offer a diverse collection of case studies, illustrating labor processes in a wide range of contexts in both western and nonwestern societies.
The volume presents a detailed portrait of how the mobilization of labor changes dramatically with variations in social, political and economic conditions, as well as location and time period, reaffirming the unique contribution of anthropology to economic research.
Individual sections include discussions on household labor, firms and corporations, and state and transnational conditions.
This book will be a valuable resource for scholars, students and interested readers of international economics, anthropology, development issues, labor studies and sociology.
