Globalization and the Decline of Social Reform
Description:
Teeple (sociology and anthropology, Simon Fraser U.) sees the welfare state and social democracy as a period of transition from the era of national capital and nation states to one of internationalized capital and supra-national organizations. He examines the expected increases in social and personal wealth and well being that allowed the rise of welfare states, and the economic retrenchment and political reaction that are dismantling them. He also warns of the consequences for working people worldwide, the decline of political legitimacy, and the exercise of unmitigated corporate power. Paper edition (unseen), $15.00.
