This book is an excellent introduction to debates about employment policies in Europe. It challenges the common assumption that labour market inequality must rise to avoid globalisation's threat to employment. Early chapters give a general overview which should be widely used by teachers and students. Neil Fraser, Department of Social Policy, University of Edinburgh
