Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book introduces a range of views and empirical evidence from France about the informal economy by reviewing, comparing and critically evaluating contributions from sociology, economics and anthropology. The book attempts to discover why the concept of "IE" took shape in the early 1970s and clarifies the major issues at stake. The area is studied from different perspectives - microeconomist, feminist, empirical, free-market dualist and radical.
