Creating and Transforming Households - Smith, Joan (University of Vermont) a Wallerstein, Immanuel (State University of New York, Binghamton)

This book, first published in 1992, examines the intimate link between the micro-structures of households and the structures of the world-economy at a global level. It seeks to explain differences in wage levels for work of comparable productivity by examining the different structures of households as 'income-pooling units'.
