- Description
- xix, 265 pages : illustrations, maps; 24 cm.
- Summary
- This book offers an insightful scrutiny of rural market behavior and a convincing explanation of why farmers fail sometimes to manage their laborers in ways predicted by market models, and how power imbalances and social conditions can impair the ability of laborers to attain a fair market contract during lax labor market periods. Ortiz compares three localized coffee labor markets, expanding the analysis by contrasting the strategies used by the coffee farmers in her study areas with those that farmers in other parts of the world adopt in order to cope with similar problems.
