The New Helots

Migrants in the International Division of Labour

Beschreibung

Originally published in 1987, and now reissued with a substantial new introduction by Robin Cohen, this work argues that a major engine of capital's growth lies in its ability to find successive cohorts of quasi-free workers to deploy in the farms, mines and factories of an expanding international division of labour.
