Table of ContentsPart I - What is a Living Part II - Living Wage and Low Pay Campaigns: Contemporary Global Activism Part III - Evidence and Lessons from U.S. Empirical StudiesReviews'In this volume, Professor Figart has drawn together eighteen scholars for the first comprehensive global analysis of the various living wages movements. These essays bring to life the story of the distributive conditions of labor, through global activism and empirical research. It provides a fascinating detailed view of the ethical, political, economic and social foundations of the standard of living of the working classes in many nations. I highly recommend it for courses on labor economics, public policy and comparative political economy.' - Professor Phillp O'Hara, Global Political Economy Research Unit, Curtin University, Australia Author InformationDeborah M.
