Overall, this is an ambitious book that succeeds in locating an analysis of the limitations of age discrimination law within a wider context of policy and organisational practices that favour compliance rather than the pursuit of best practice... the author demonstrates a high level of competency with mixed methods and establishes a good case for the utility of socio-legal research. The book deserves to be read not just by legal scholars and students of jurisprudence, for whom the political economy and mixed methods approaches will be insightful, but anyone with an interest in age discrimination in employment, i.e., frankly, us all. -- Jim Arrowsmith, Massey University School of Management * Labour and Industry * The book represents great value since it provides real solutions for improving age discrimination laws... The book is recommended for labour law and discrimination experts, those interested in the area of age discrimination of older people, and socio-legal and empirical legal research. -- Krystyna Bakhtina, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna * Ageing & Society * This book can serve as a starting point for future researchers to draw on the author’s outline reflexive theory and empirical mixed method approach to develop a concerted approach to age discrimination at work, which is both up to date, responsive and based on enduring principles of fairness. -- George R Bell, London South Bank University * British Journal of Industrial Relations *
