Moving beyond categories of North and South, Munck argues that the new global class of workers will be central both to the future of globalization and to its possible alternatives. In some ways the book poses a 'return to the future' drawing parallels with the birth of the labour and democratic movements before the consolidation of nation states. <br><br>At a time of growing unease with the negative effects of economic globalization, <i>Rethinking Global Labour</i> offers an important assessment of global labour and its potential for organization.Working classLabor and globalizationLabor movementLabor unionsCapitalismWorking class.Labor and globalization.Labor movement.Labor unions.Capitalism.331.88Munck Ronaldo143498UkCbUPUkCbUP9910813472703321Rethinking global labour4075811UNINA
