Since the 1970s, the rapid and unexpected growth of the informal economy in the core zones of the world economy - the United States in particular - has been the focus of much scholarly investigation. To examine the social and spatial pervasiveness of this world-historical process usually associated with the Third World, Faruk Tabak and Michaeline A. Crichlow bring together a group of contributors to broaden the historical and geographical context for the study of informalization. Demonstrating the cyclical patterns of expansion and contraction through which the informal economy has developed, the authors trace the history of the informal economy within and against that of capitalism, from the 14th century to the 20th. They look at the present global situation of the informal economy, inside and outside the order established by American hegemony. They examine the factors - at both the state and grassroots level - to determine its likely trajectory in the near future. They also revisit the relationship between capitalism and informalization, questioning the usefulness of the concept of informality itself.

Descrizione libreria

The Old Stoic is a retailer of secondhand nonfiction, academic, specialist books, antique books and collectables. I am an academic writer based in Haworth, West Yorkshire, otherwise known as 'Bront�ville', the small town known as the home of the literary family. The collection was begun by my late father, who began it in the book-town of Hay-on-Wye, where he developed his book collecting skills working for 'The King of Hay' Richard Booth. I stock predominately humanities, arts and social studies, from philosophy, politics, international relations, psychology and theology, and art theory, literary criticism and media, but I also have sciences and some fiction, including a small collection of Welsh writer Rhys Davies, including many personalised signed copies he gave as gifts to friends. All books are secondhand but in good, solid condition.
