What others are saying:
"With the capitalist system demonstrably unfair,
irrational, and prone to intermittent crises,
it is useful, indeed refreshing, to see a Marxist analysis
of globalization and its effects on working people.
Fred Goldstein's LOW-WAGE CAPITALISM does exactly that ."
- Howard Zinn
"Only by understanding capitalism and monopoly capitalism
can we understand the root causes
of global poverty and migration."
- Berna Ellorin,
Secretary-General, BAYAN USA
"Low-Wage Capitalism is truly outstanding,
starting with the first sentence in Chap. 1.
Hits us like a body punch, and provides the perfect context
for what we all need to know about the evolving
conditions of workers and their struggles.
I know of no book in this area that covers so much,
so clearly and - when it comes to what is to be done - so convincingly.
Deserves the widest readership.
- Bertell Ollman, professor of politics at NYU

"Low wage capitalism by Fred Goldstein
is a most timely and important work,
as the working class prepares for a ¨fightback¨
during the greatest crisis of capitalism
since the great depression."
- Clarence Thomas,
ILWU Local 10 and co chair of the Million Worker March Movement
"Lucid, deeply accurate and informative,
as relevant and useful as a book can be,
Goldstein offers a compelling analysis of the
exploitative world of global corporate capitalism."
- Michael Parenti,
author of Contrary Notions
“Patriarchal prejudice serves capitalism in two ways: it keeps the whole working class divided,
and it holds down wages for women and for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered workers. Low-Wage Capitalism
shows the necessity and the great potential for solidarity among all the low-wage workers of the world.”
- Martha Grevatt,
Nat’l Executive Officer Pride At Work, AFL-CIO, UAW Local 122
