Sí, por favor búsquenme este libroThis Third Edition of the international bestselling textbook "Cities in a World Economy" presents sociologists with a continuing new perspective on the study of urban sociology. The decentralization and privatization of the world's economies has radically altered such things as the organization of labour, the structure of consumption and the distribution of earnings in ways that have yet to be fully realized. In a world economy that is truly more global than it has ever been, Saskia Sassen addresses the need to account for the global economies' increasing influence on the social structures of cities. New to this edition is: immigration, digitization and its implications for cities, the expanded network of global cities, case studies on 'when the global economy hits the ground, and expansion on regional materials such as: Middle East; East Asia; and Sub-Saharan Africa.
