Going beyond the orthodoxies of mainstream economics it shows the relevance of political economy to the debates on the economic meaning of our times. It offers fresh insights into such issues as modern theories of growth, the historic relations between state and market and the significance of globalization for modern societies. Reconstructing Political Economy: The Great Divide in Economic Thought (Contemporary Political Economy) William Tabb (24 June 1999) 2008-06-01T14:52:37-00:00 1999 Routledge economics political-economy http://www.citeulike.org/user/heraclitus/article/2854497 <i>(01 March 2000)</i><br /><br />The disparity in wealth both within and between nations has grown rapidly in recent years, and is becoming an increasingly significant issue in attempts to deal with environmental problems - from international negotiations over climate change to local concerns about environmental justice. The Political Economy of Inequality offers an in-depth examination of the economic theory behind the causes, consequences, and cures for inequality. The volume brings together disparate analyses of inequality in economic and related fields, identifies areas where more work is most needed, and lays the groundwork for an integrated understanding of the causes and consequences of inequality in the United States and the world. Sections cover: * the distribution of earnings * the distribution of wealth * celebrity and CEO incomes * the effects of corporate power * poverty, inequality, and power * household roles and family structure * skills, technology, and education * categorical inequalities, such as those based on race, gender, or ethnicity * inequality on a global scale * the welfare state The book is the fifth in the six-volume Frontier Issues in Economic Thought series. Each volume offers two- to three-page summaries of the most notable articles and chapters in a "frontier" area where important new work is being done but has not yet been incorporated into the standard definition of economics. Introductory essays by the editors review the field, cite other literature that was not summarized, and situate the summarized articles within an overview of the subject. As with the other volumes in the series, The Political Economy of Inequality offers an invaluable overview of an emerging field of economics and is a unique reference for students and scholars concerned with economic policy, social economics, work and labor issues, international and sustainable development, or related topics.

It opens up the concept and concrete experience of globalization to reveal the social and political contests that give 'global' its meaning, by examining the contested nature of globalization as it is expressed in the restructuring of work. Through case studies that span from the labor flexibility debates in Britain and Germany, to the strategies and tactics of corporations and workers, the author examines how globalization is interpreted and experienced in everyday life.
