{"product_id":"labor-globalization-and-the-state-1","title":"Labor, Globalization and the State","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the impact of neoliberal globalization on labour markets and the state in the developed and developing world. It focuses especially on the United States and the economies of Asia – in particular, India. Liberalized trade and investment are thought by neoliberals to be the best levers for raising labour standards, provided labour market flexibility and capital market restructuring accompany them.
