Items related to The New Social Economy: Reworking the Division of Labor
Synopsis
As capitalism expands and state socialism disintegrates, divisions of labor--in households, corporations and multinational networks--have been reorganized. These changes have critical implications for economic development, the distribution of power and social change. Yet the concept of division of labor has been neglected compared to class, gender, and consumption; it has typically been treated as backcloth rather than as one of the key forces of economy and society. The New Social Economy shows that the division of labor has far-reaching effects, often falsely attributed to other structural forces.

From the Back Cover
As capitalism develops and state socialism disintegrates, divisions of labor are being reorganized, with major implications for the distribution of power in society. Yet the concept of division of labor has been one of the most neglected in contemporary political economy and social theory. Compared to class, gender or markets, it has typically been treated as a rather indifferent concept, part of the backdrop rather than one of the key forces of the economy and society.
Dealing with the reworking of the division of labor in both practice and theory, and transcending the narrow boundaries of academic disciplines, the authors provide a new perspective on some of the most hotly debated issues in social science.
