Buechler’s in-depth ethnographic research over a period of 17 years include interviews with a variety of social actors ranging from favela inhabitants to Wall Street bankers. Buechler examines the paradox of a globalizing city with highly developed financial, service, and industrial sectors, but at the same time a growing sector of microenterprises, degraded labor, considerable unemployment, unprecedented inequality, and precarious infrastructure in its low-income communities. The author argues that informalization and low-income women’s labor are an integral part of the global economy. Other countries are continuing to use the same kind of neo-liberal economic model even though once again with the latest global financial crisis, it has proven to be detrimental to many workers.. . | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | 关键词 | Globalization; Impact of Global Economic Restructuring; Industrial mass production; Unemployment Crisis | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-01661-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-37528-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-01661-0Series ISSN 1877-7139 Series E-ISSN 2512-1200 | issn_series | 1877-7139 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014 |
