Book Description

Contingent Work, Disrupted Lives examines the repercussions of economic globalization on several manufacturing-dependent rural communities in Canada. Foregrounding a distinct interest in the 'grassroots' effects of such contemporary corporate strategies as plant closures and downsizing, authors Anthony Winson and Belinda Leach consider the impact of this restructuring on the residents of various communities. The authors argue that the new rural economy involves a fundamental shift in the stability and security of people's lives and, ultimately, it causes wrenching change and an arduous struggle as rural dwellers struggle to rebuild their lives in the new economic terrain.

Beginning with broader theoretical and empirical literature on global changes in the economy and the effects of these changes on labour, the text then focuses exploration on manufacturing in Ontario with an analysis of five community case studies. Winson and Leach give considerable attention to the testimony of numerous residents; they report on in-depth interviews with key respondents and blue-collar workers in five separate communities, ranging from diverse manufacturing towns to single-industry settlements. The result is an intimate contextual knowledge of the workers' lives and their attempts to adapt to the tumultuous economic terrain of 1990s rural Canada.

Winner of the John Porter Prize for 2003, awarded by the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association.

best and most up-to-date review on the challenges facing sa.......1999-05-23

I have read many books concerning South Africa and the political and economic problems that the country and its people have experienced since the end of Apartheid. This, by far, is the most interesting, comprehensive, and easy to understand book on the subject. Highly reccommended !!!

Customer Reviews:

Best book you can buy on this topic.......2004-04-25

This is a good book. I have been a sales representative for over 10 years and I bought this book to test my knowledge. If you are tired with your job and you like to have your own bussiness, this book is great. Being a sales rep is the best self-employed opportunity because of the low overhead involved. If you feel you can sell, you will be fine if you follow the instructions in this book. I would recommend starting as a sub-representative, because that will help you to get started and you will receive the training as well. The other good thing about starting as a sub rep is that you will get a list of established accounts. This will insure your making money right away. If they can not tell you how much money you can make in the territory, forget working for them. They have to give you an overview of what the previous representative sold and to whom, so you can build on that. The "Learning Annex" also gives courses on this topic. I have seen them advertised in the San Francisco issue. I wish the publisher would print a new updated version, but don't worry, this book is good enough.

Customer Reviews:

zig zglar not helpful this time.......2007-05-23

MR.ZIGLAR HAS LOST SITE ON THIS CD, I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND HIM TO BE FANTASTIC, NOT SO MUCH ON THIS ONE. I WAS DISAPPOINTED.

does this come with a money back guarantee?.......2006-10-19

Inane, useless information from a speaker so boring I could hardly get through the 3 CD's (but felt like I had to since I had spent the money on them). Perhaps he is a great salesperson-but I cannot see it. I bought this on the strength of the reviews and am now convinced they were his friends or family stuffing the ballot box. I think this information was aimed at someone in grade school, not a professional sales person.

Responding to "slow down ziglar".......2006-07-26

This is a great book. Most of the stuff that Tony Robbins teaches in his 300$ influence programs has the same exact tenants that Ziglar teaches. Ziglar is the best teacher for success principles, period. I have studied in depth brian tracy, anthony robbins, earl nightingale, jim rohn, and anyone else of note in this field. Ziglar is the best all around. Earl did start it all with lead the field and that may be the best condensed program out there BUT Zig is the best today. Tony and Tracy are 5 star speakers also.

With that said, this book is awesome and really teaches you the most important factors in learning sales. It is all fundamentals.

As for the guy who said, "slow down zig", I find that funny. A human can only speak at about 250 words per minute, 400 words per minute if they are blazing fast. As for how fast your mind can think, probably 1,000 words per minute or more. Good readers read at about 500 wpm or more. So when you say that he is moving too fast for you, I have to wonder if you have issues. That must be a mental block for you because there is no problem at all with the speed of his presentation. STEP UP and STOP WHINING! Start selling!

How good of a salesperson can you be if you complain and can't focus on the material. Everyone is a critic nowadays. Get out of selling and get into movie criticsm. GOOD DAY SIR! lol

Great book.......2006-03-08

This book helps to keep your chin up. Sometimes in sales it can be discouraging. You can only take so many `no's. This is a useful tool to help you get on top and stay there. Ziglar is an incredible teacher.

Too fast! Non-stop reading of scripts!.......2005-11-30

The content is full of valuable information on selling. But this Audio CD is not my favourite.

Ziglar speaks so rapidly and non-stop! I guess nobody speaks in this mannner. I mean, if you want listeners to enjoy your speech, it is better to speak in a more natural pace, occassionally there should be a pause.

Ziglar is rushing the scripts when you listen to this CD. Choking the brain of the listeners with no respite whatsoever! Slow down Slow down......... Ziglar! Give me some space to absorb your message!

I wish I can listen to your CD comfortably, but I can't. You Read the scripts in such a rapid manner that it does not help your listeners to relax and enjoy your works. Ziglar!

I am sorry, I have to give you 2 stars based on your unsatisfactory presentation in this CD.

Book Description

The slow progress of the GATT negotiations, developing countries' experience of trade liberalization in the 1980s and recent dramatic changes in Eastern Europe have all revived interest in regional integration. Papers in this volume, based on a CEPR joint conference with the World Bank, analyze why countries find regional integration more attractive now than in the past, the circumstances under which different kinds of integration are appropriate and the conditions necessary for their success. It also considers whether regionalism may serve as a stepping stone to multilateral free trade and the possible harmful long-term effects on small developing countries and free traders of the world's division into trading blocs.

Book Description

Bank loans are the main source of credit for businesses across Latin America, so understanding what determines the depth, cost, and volatility of bank credit is crucial to designing strategies that ensure financial stability and promote growth.

This new edition of Economic and Social Progress in Latin America provides a comprehensive analysis of the region's all-important banking industry. The book examines two-way interactions between macroeconomic policies and financial intermediation -- not only how these policies affect banking but how banks weather intermediate shocks, and how industry incentives can prompt bank portfolio choices that influence economic policy. The report also discusses how elements of a financial safety net -- including deposit insurance, prudential regulation, protection of creditor rights, and legal and judicial enforcement -- can mitigate factors that make credit more volatile and constrain its expansion.

Finally, the report studies how the banking industry's market structure affects its performance. Particular attention is given to the role of government- versus foreign-owned banks, access to credit by small and medium-sized enterprises,and the development of mortgage credit markets.
