"This text examines key contemporary issues in the sociology of economic life. Drawing on a range of critical perspectives, it analyses major trends in the restructuring of economy and society - from the politics and economics of globalisation to post-industrial economies, the 'end' of class and current patterns of inequality. The book is organised around three core themes: the globalisation of social and economic relations; shifts in the nature of products, production and work; changing class identities and economic inequalities." "This book provides an accessible and critical discussion of key issues in current social and economic analysis, in a context where readers are increasingly interested in the study of globalisation, international governance and economic power. Its international approach, together with its focus on wide-scale social and economic changes, gives the book considerable international appeal. The text will be particularly relevant to undergraduate and graduate students and scholars in the fields of economic and political sociology, politics and government, geography, economics and international relations."--BOOK JACKET.
