Description

Explore the complex realities of China's economic rise with this academic study from the Rethinking Globalizations series. While many focus on the country's rapid development and potential to become a global hegemon, this book examines the human cost behind those growth rates. It addresses the dark side of the economic miracle, focusing on the lived experiences of workers facing long hours, low pay, and a lack of welfare benefits. This text provides a deep look into how increasing inequality connects to exploitative working conditions. Rather than presenting a one-sided view of development, it investigates how workers respond to these pressures. You will learn about the various strategies of resistance used by the labor force as they fight back against super-exploitation. This is an essential resource for anyone studying international business, global economics, or labor rights in the modern era.
