Críticas

"The authors deftly integrate sociological, political, and economic perspectives to highlight the major changes in the structure of labor markets that are responsible for the upsurge in the structural unemployment and economic inequality that haunt the contemporary United States." Arne L. Kalleberg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "The Causes of Structural Unemployment is a comprehensive look at the causes of long-term structural unemployment in affluent industrialized nations. It combines and illustrates how individual biographies are tied up to larger social and economic processes - how the single-minded focus on shareholder value and market manipulations destroys the labor market for good jobs." Kevin T. Leicht, University of Iowa "This is a well-researched book with detailed references. It successfully links globalisation to the rise of long-term unemployment in the advanced Western countries." Political Studies Review

Reseña del editor

Recent years have seen growing concern over declining jobs and "jobless recoveries." This illuminating book focuses on the employment futures of advanced industrial countries, providing readers with the sociological imagination to appreciate the bigger picture of where workers fit in the new international division of labor.
