Recenzje

This is an important book that fills a void in the literature on labor markets generally, and on how wage adjustments in agriculture are impacted by institutional as well as market factors. It reveals the complexities of these adjustments, taking into account migration, civic society pressures, labor standards, and the capacity and willingness of governments to enforce them.
