About the Book
In this compelling and investigative work, Andrew Ross explores the human side of globalization by focusing on the workers behind outsourced jobs. While outsourcing to countries such as China and India has long been debated in the United States, this book shifts attention to the lives of those employed in these rapidly expanding economies.
Based on a year of field research in China, including interviews with factory employees, white-collar workers, and managers across regions such as Shanghai and Taiwan-linked enterprises, the author reveals the social and economic pressures faced by the modern Chinese workforce. Issues such as job insecurity, extended working hours, labor competition, and corporate restructuring are examined with clarity and nuance.
The book also reflects on the broader implications of global free trade and the growing economic rivalry between emerging powers. Insightful and accessible, it offers readers a deeper understanding of the interconnected realities of globalization.
