Critics Review
“Greenwood has created a valuable resource for teaching labor economics more pluralistically and realistically. Presenting alternative analyses and perspectives, she makes labor economics relevant and useful for understanding real-life problems in the US economy today.”
Janice Peterson, California State University, Fresno
“As perhaps the first undergraduate-friendly book on its topic, this volume is an important resource for students, but also for a wider audience of scholars and economists working in the area of inequality. Highly recommended.”
Edward Wolff, New York University
“What determines pay? What constitutes workplace fairness? Is environmental sustainability compatible with expanding job opportunities? Greenwood provides compelling answers to a wide range of such questions. This is both an outstanding textbook and a resource for everyone interested in understanding conditions for working people today.”
Robert Pollin, University of Massachusetts Amherst
