Description: The Prosperity Paradox explains why farm worker problems often worsen as the agricultural sector shrinks and lays out options to help vulnerable workers.

Review Quotes: "This is an important book that fills a void in the literature on labor markets generally, and on how wage adjustments in agriculture are impacted by institutional as well as market factors. It reveals the complexities of these adjustments, taking into account migration, civic society pressures, labor standards, and the capacity and willingness of governments to enforce them." -- Manolo Abella, World Bank, Washington, DC, USA, The Developing Economies
