The Allure of Capitalism

An Ethnography of Management and the Global Economy in Crisis

Beschreibung

Provides a unique ethnography of "global management". One of the few in-depth ethnographies addressing the current financial and economic crisis. Unique in the way it provides an ethnographic extended case study, extending out of the field from corporate managerial practices to the global capitalist system in crisis, from communicative interactions at the "micro" level, to structural processes and "forces" at the macro level. Provides a unique holistic treatment of pressing issues of global political economy and society.
