Summary
The goals of the comparison are to add to the growing literature that critiques the idea of American exceptionalism. The chapter is largely silent on the sizable literature that situates low-wage work regimes in chain frameworks (e.g. Bonacich and Appelbaum 2000; Collins 2003) or the extensive literature on gender, labor and globalization (e.g. Ong 1991).
