Work and Capitalist Globalization: Beyond Dualist Reason

Ronaldo Munck

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2020, vol. 52, issue 3, 371-386

Abstract: Dualist, as against dialectical, thinking is seen to dominate the understanding of both informal and precarious work. We pose instead the centrality of labor in the making of capital and vice versa. An alternative approach to globalization and labor is posed that breaks with dualist thinking. As against the legalization or formalization frame to deal with informality and precarity we pose an organizing frame centered on the trade unions developing a social movement strategy.
