This book, first published in 1992, seeks an explanation of the
pattern of sharp discrepancy of wage levels across the
world-economy for work of comparable productivity. It explores how
far such differences can be explained by the different structures
of households as 'income-pooling units', examining three key
variables: location in the core or periphery of the world-economy;
periods of expansion versus periods of contraction in the
world-economy; and secular transformation over time. The authors
argue that both the boundaries of households and their sources of
income are molded by the changing patterns of the world-economy,
but are also modes of defense against its pressures. Drawing
empirical data from eight local regions in three different zones -
the United States, Mexico and southern Africa - this book presents
a systematic and original approach to the intimate link between the
micro-structures of households and the structures of the capitalist
world-economy at a global level.
