With fewer and fewer people working in steady, long-term positions for one employer, has the dream of a secure job with full benefits and a decent salary become just that?a dream?In Nice Work If You Can Get It, Andrew Ross surveys the new topography of the global workplace and finds an emerging pattern of labor instability and uneven development on a massive scale. Combining detailed case studies with lucid analysis and graphic prose, he looks at what the new landscape of contingent employment means for workers across national, class, and racial lines?from the emerging ?creative class? of high-wage professionals to the multitudes of temporary, migrant, or low-wage workers. Developing the idea of ?precarious livelihoods? to describe this new world of work and life, Ross explores what it means in developed nations?comparing the creative industry policies of the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union, as well as developing countries?by examining the quickfire transformation of China?s labor market. He also responds to the challenge of sustainability, assessing the promise of ?green jobs? through restorative alliances between labor advocates and environmentalists.Ross argues that regardless of one?s views on labor rights, globalization, and quality of life, this new precarious and ?indefinite life,&? and the pitfalls and opportunities that accompany it is likely here to stay and must be addressed in a systematic way. A more equitable kind of knowledge society emerges in these pages?less skewed toward flexploitation and the speculative beneficiaries of intellectual property, and more in tune with ideals and practices that are fair, just, and renewable. 410 0$aNYU series in social and cultural analysis. 606 $aEmployment in foreign countries 606 $aForeign workers 606 $aGlobalization 610 $abecome. 610 $aexploration. 610 $aliving. 610 $amaking. 610 $anow. 610 $apenetrating. 610 $aprecarious. 610 $asuch. 610 $atask. 610 $atemps. 615 0$aEmployment in foreign countries. 615 0$aForeign workers. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a331.6/2 700 $aRoss$b Andrew$f1956-$0148210 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778027303321 996 $aNice work if you can get it$93867260 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04398nam 2200745 450 001 9910824789403321 005 20230417060052.0 010 $a1-4426-5913-0 010 $a0-8020-2699-0 010 $a1-4426-5740-5 024 7 $a10.3138/9781442657403 035 $a(CKB)3710000000371154 035 $a(EBL)3296734 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001420410 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12529709 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001420410 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11403807 035 $a(PQKB)10281760 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4670184 035 $a(CEL)449406 035 $a(OCoLC)903440981 035 $a(CaBNVSL)thg00916134 035 $a(DE-B1597)465581 035 $a(OCoLC)999372293 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781442657403 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4670184 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11256698 035 $a(OCoLC)958564979 035 $a(dli)HEB03723 035 $a(MiU) MIU01100000000000000000127 035 $a(OCoLC)903968169 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)musev2_106896 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000371154 100 $a20160921h19901990 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Canadian fur trade in the industrial age /$fArthur J.

Its products were the object of intense competition among merchants on two continents - in Leipzig, New York, London, Winnipeg, St Louis, and Montreal. But in 1870 things began to change, and by the end of the Second World War the company's share had dropped to about a quarter of the trade. Arthur Ray explores the decades of transition, the economic and technological changes that shaped them, and their impact on the Canadian north and its people. Among the developments that affected the fur trade during this period were innovations in transportation and communication; increased government involvement in business, conservation, and native economic welfare; and the effects of two severe depressions (1873-95 and 1929-38) and two world wars. The Hudson's Bay Company, confronting the first of these changes as early as 1871, embarked on a diversification program that was intended to capitalize on new economic opportunities in land development, retailing, and resource ventures. Meanwhile it continued to participate in its traditional sphere of operations. But the company's directors had difficulty keeping pace with the rapid changes that were taking place in the fur trade, and the company began to lose ground. Ray's study is the first to make extensive use of the Hudson's Bay Company archives dealing with the period between 1870 and 1945. These and other documents reveal a great deal about the decline of the company, and thus about a key element in the history of the modern Canadian fur trade. 606 $aFur trade$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aIndians of North America$zCanada$xEconomic conditions 607 $aNorthern Canada$2fast 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFur trade$xHistory. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xEconomic conditions. 676 $a971.201 700 $aRay$b Arthur J.$0835462 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824789403321 996 $aCanadian fur trade in the industrial age$91867380 997 $aUNINA
