The Institute of Economics in Pisa organises a seminar with Beverly Silver, professor of Sociology at the John Hopkins University and Director of the Arrighi Center for Global Studies
“The Global Labour Protests in Twenty First Century Capitalism” is the title of a workshop organised by the Institute of Economics of the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa. The workshop will be held in Pisa on Wednesday, June 14th (Piazza Martiri della Libertà 33 at 2 pm).
Beverly Silver, professor of Sociology at the John Hopkins University and Director of the Arrighi Center for Global Studies, will be the keynote speaker. ISIGrowth’s Giovanni Dosi and Mario Pianta will also participate – as chair and discussant – in the seminar.
The seminar will focus on the most recent transformations of the working classes following the technological and geographical evolution of capitalism and the reopening of the labor movement.
Beverly Silver, a co-author with Giovanni Arrighi of numerous essays on world-system analysis, is the famous author of Forces of Labor, a long-term study of workers’ movements in global capitalism since 1870 to the present day. Silver deals with the issue of the reallocation of working classes on a global scale. She focuses on the most recent transformations of the working classes following the technological and geographical evolution of capitalism and the reopening of the labor movement and capital-labor conflict in the “new” and “old” industrialization.
