Creating and Transforming Households: The Constraints of the World-Economy (Studies in Modern Capitalism/Etudes Sur Le Capitalisme Moderne) Joan Smith, Immanuel Maurice Wallerstein, I. Wallerstein, Kathie F. Kasaba

This book examines the intimate link between the micro-structures of households and the structures of the world-economy at a global level. It seeks to explain differences in wage levels for work of comparable productivity by examining the different structures of households as "income-pooling units." The authors argue that the boundaries and sources of income of households are molded by the changing patterns of the world-economy, but are also modes of defense against its pressures. Empirical data is drawnfrom eight local regions in three different zones: the United States, Mexico and southern Africa.
