Bøger i Perspectives on Economic Change serien

Challenging the prevailing idea that labor markets are governed by universal economic processes, this significant work argues instead that labor markets develop in tandem with social and political institutions, and thus function in locally specific ways. Focusing on the complex social processes that lie at the heart of the labor market, the author offers a provocative new perspective and proposes new ways of conducting research in the area.

This work proposes a theory of how regions have sustained their economic viability in an era of multinational corporations.
