Description

Despite the renewed interest in the impact of migration upon economic development in general, remarkably few studies have taken up the ways in which the geographic flows of labour impact capital accumulation. This timely and provocative book analyses the existing literature and adds a critical dimension by examining the financialisation of migration processes, thereby making an indispensable contribution to Development Studies.
