Description for Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy
Hardcover. Income inequality, displaced and imprisoned populations, destruction of land and water: today's dislocations cannot be understood in the usual terms of poverty and injustice, Saskia Sassen argues. They are more accurately understood as expulsions--from professional livelihood, from living space, from the very biosphere that makes life possible. Num Pages: 280 pages, Illustrations (black and white). BIC Classification: JFFS; JPA; KCM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 150 x 210 x 26. Weight in Grams: 462.

Sassen presents a powerful conceptual analysis and an equally powerful and timely call to ... Read more
