Description: Seeking to historicize today's Great Recession, this collection of essays uses examples from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia to situate the current economic crisis and its impact on workers in the context of previous abrupt shifts in the modern-day capitalist marketplace.
Review Quotes: "The essays serve as important reminders of how interconnected world economic conditions have always been, and of how much more interconnected they are now."--Journal of American History
