The World Wide Web of Work: A history in the making - Paperback

by Marcel Van Der Linden (Author)

Exploring links between labourers across the world, the book argues that globalisation and modern labour management originated in agriculture in the Global South. It highlights inequalities through which workers in wealthy countries benefit from exploitation of those in poor countries, and problematises workers' resistance and aquiescence.
