Riassunto

A systematic and original approach to the intimate link between the micro-structures of households and the structures of the capitalist world-economy.

Recensione

"This book is a useful sourcebook for those interested iin the specific regions of the world it covers. Perhaps more importantly, it provides empirical evidence to confirm that even in the United States, the classic Fordist worker has existed only during very short periods, while the economic contribution of other members of the household has always been a crucial factor in their reproduction."
