Trade Review

Despite surprising successes in the passage of living-wage ordinances around the country, implementation often has been lackadaisical.

Individuals interested in studying administrative practices also will profit from this book. Clear, jargon-free writing makes it accessible to undergraduates while still offering important lessons to advanced scholars. Highly recommended.
