Rezensionen
"The labor market in Silicon Valley is the likely harbinger of things to come in the rest of the American economy. Chris Benner's analysis of this market's structure should be taken very seriously. He has brought us a vast amount of information that will help policy makers plan for the future."
"Benner's work on the Silicon Valley's labor markets provides valuable insights for policymakers and activists as well as scholars who care about the future of work and workers in the new economy."
"Chris Benner, in his ground-breaking study of Work in the New Economy has done us an immense favour by offering an alternative way to conceptualize labour markets, a way which not only allows us to capture the dynamics within them, but also helps us move dialectically between structuralist approaches and those rooted in notions of individual agency."
