Cities in a World Economy (Sociology for a New Century Series)
“No other book locates cities (as distinct but changing settlement forms and institutional arrangements) in the world economy so clearly and concisely.” (Renia Ehrenfeucht 2011-05-04)“I enjoy teaching with this book. It is much more challenging than a traditional textbook, and students learn about globalization, post-industrialization, stratification, gender and race inequality, and of course the importance of urbanization and the rise of global cities.” (Stephanie Moller 2011-05-04)
