The World Wide Web of Work: A history in the making (Van Der Linden Marcel)(Paperback) - diskuze

A groundbreaking exploration of the core ideas and concepts of global labor history. Global labor history is one of the fastest-growing fields of study worldwide today. This volume assembles a group of contributors from around the world to discuss the core concepts "capitalism" and "workers," and to refine notions such as "coerced labor," "household strategies," and "labor markets." It explores in new ways the connections between laborers in different parts of the world, arguing that both globalization and modern labor management originated in agriculture in the Global South and were only later introduced in Northern industrial settings. It reveals that nineteenth-century chattel slavery was frequently replaced by other forms of coerced labor, and it reconstructs the twentieth-century attempts of the International Labor Organisation to regulate work standards
