Labor in the age of finance: pensions, politics, and corporations from deindustrialization to Dodd-Frank

Abstract

this industry and allows the researcher and interested student to see the industry as a totality and apply this to emerging fields of research. The book is an important contribution and an invaluable addition to published work on the industry and its workplace relations: the reader seeking an understanding of national employment systems and international comparisons will be well served by it. Consequently, I recommend this book, not only for its exposition of workplace relations in an industry that is markedly different from others, but for its function in providing a glimpse behind the curtain of the workings on an industry sector, both within and between national boundaries, that is as important as it is complex and diverse.
