Reviews

'This is a wonderfully rich and impressive book about the sociology of economic life. At times reading like a detective story it tells us so much about how work has changed over four important decades. It should be compulsory reading for anyone interested in the history of British sociology.' Tim Strangleman, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK
