Offshoring and Labor Recommodification in the Global Transformation

Guy Standing

Chapter Chapter Three in Global Capitalism Unbound, 2007, pp 41-60 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Offshoring is an aspect of labor market restructuring that has caught popular attention in the United States, but it has attracted nothing like as much attention in other parts of the world compared with other aspects. Offshoring is a metaphor. It is just one manifestation of fear that is characterizing the globalization of labor market flexibility. It goes with Perots infamous imagery of “the great sucking sound” of Mexico.
