Seabrooke, Leonard

Recenzje

With their concept of global wealth chains, Seabrooke and Wigan have opened up a powerful new stream of research that addresses a central issue in modern societies — how wealth is maintained and reproduced in a world characterised by economic uncertainties, financial market instabilities, state revenue and tax authorities, and egalitarian social movements. This is essential reading for anybody interested in how wealth is sustained and protected in the contemporary period. It is a truly inter-disciplinary project that reflects the best of contemporary social science and its ability to reveal to society and policy makers the opaque structures and processes that underpin current conditions of inequality of wealth and power.
