Title The Global Crisis of Wage Labour
 
Creator McMichael, Philip
 
Subject

 
Description This is an interpretation of the current crisis of wage-labour. There is a wealth of statistics that offer perspectives on this crisis-from predictions of substantial and increasing labour displacement by automation, through global unemployment data, to the instability of labour in the "race to the bottom" dynamic generating cheapened labour forces across the global economy. The current Asian financial crisis reveals the volatility of late-twentieth century virtual capitalism, and the ultimate vulnerability of labour anywhere. As is already evident, increasing numbers of people are exiting the formal economy.
