Exploited: Migrant Labour In The New Global Economy

by Toby Shelley

In this book, Toby Shelley shows that current unprecedented flows of migrant workers are a direct result of economic liberalisation. The appalling conditions and legal abuses which confront these workers are not a premodern aberration, but an integral part of the global economy. Shelley argues that even governments, keen to protect big business, are complicit in this exploitation, their law and order approach on immigration being part of this complicity. Based on interviews and investigations with workers, unionists and activists, EXPLOITED is a powerful and shocking read.
