Extremely Informative

This was an excellent read! Great for people who are curious about the effects of globalization on the world's labor force. The authors have divided the world's labor markets into regions and provided extensive insight into the effects of globalization on under developed regions; and the consequences faced in the Americas as a result of increased globalization. Easy and interesting read. The other books in this series, Sociology for a New Century are great as well. Try Waves od Democracy next.
