Workers at the plant earned $15.14 an hour, had good insurance, and were assured a solid retirement. In 2004, the plant was relocated to Reynosa, Mexico, where workers spent 13-hour days assembling refrigerators for $1.10 an hour. In Boom, Bust, Exodus, Broughton offers a look at the transition to a globalized economy, from the perspective of those who have felt its effects most. In today's highly commoditized world, we are increasingly divorced from the origins of the goods we consume; the human labor required to create our smart phones and hybrid cars is so far removed from the end product we need not even think about it. And yet, Broughton shows, the human cost behind the shifting currents of the global economy remains a reality. Broughton illuminates these complexities through a tale of two cities that have fared very differently in the global contest to woo or retain fickle capital. In Galesburg, the economy is a shadow of what it once was. Reynosa, in contrast, has become one of the exploding 'second-tier cities' of the developing world, thanks to the influx of foreign-owned, export-oriented maquiladoras. And yet even these distinctions cannot be finely drawn: families struggle to get by in Reynosa, and the city is beset by violence and a ruthless drug war. Those left behind in declining of Galesburg, meanwhile, do not see themselves as helpless victims: many have gone back to school, scramble from job to job, and have learned to adapt and even thrive. It is a downsized existence, but a full-sized life nonetheless"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aWorking class$zIllinois$zGalesburg 606 $aWorking class$zMexico$zReynosa (Tamaulipas) 606 $aOffshore assembly industry$zMexico$zReynosa (Tamaulipas) 606 $aGlobalization$xSocial aspects$zIllinois$zGalesburg 606 $aGlobalization$xSocial aspects$zMexico$zReynosa (Tamaulipas) 607 $aGalesburg (Ill.)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aReynosa (Tamaulipas, Mexico)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aGalesburg (Ill.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aReynosa (Tamaulipas, Mexico)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aOffshore assembly industry 615 0$aGlobalization$xSocial aspects 615 0$aGlobalization$xSocial aspects 676 $a330.9773/49 700 $aBroughton$b Chad$0996978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459805803321 996 $aBoom, bust, exodus$92286225 997 $aUNINA
