Endorsements of Low Wage Capitalism

“With the capitalist system demonstrably unfair, it is useful, indeed refreshing, to see a Marxist analysis of globalization and its effects on working people. Fred Goldstein does exactly that.”
– Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the United States

“Low-Wage Capitalism by Fred Goldstein is a most timely and important work, as the working class prepares for a fightback during the greatest crisis of capitalism since the Great Depression.”
– Clarence Thomas, Executive Board ILWU Local 10 and Co-chair of the Million Worker March Movement

“Low-Wage Capitalism is truly outstanding, starting with the first sentence in Chapter One. Hits us like a body punch, and provides the perfect context for what we all need to know about the evolving conditions of workers and their struggles. I know of no book in this area that covers so much, so clearly and – when it comes to what is to be done – so convincingly. Deserves the widest readership.”
– Bertell Ollman, author and Professor of Political Theory, New York University

“Patriarchal prejudice serves capitalism in two ways: it keeps the whole working class divided, and it holds down wages for women and for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered workers. Low-Wage Capitalism shows the necessity and the great potential for solidarity among all the low-wage workers of the world.”
– Martha Grevatt, founding board member (1994) and National Executive Officer (1996-2001), Pride At Work, AFL-CIO, Executive Board member UAW Local 122

“Lucid, deeply accurate and informative, as relevant and useful as a book can be, Goldstein offers a compelling analysis of the exploitative world of global corporate capitalism.”
– Michael Parenti, author of Contrary Notions

“160 years after the publication of the Communist Manifesto, Fred Goldstein takes on the challenge of applying Marxist political economy to the burgeoning crisis of capitalist globalization in the 21st century. Not only does he provide a concise analysis of the recent period, but the author is bold enough to advance what could very well be the outlines of a fight-back program for workers and the oppressed that will guarantee a socialist future.”
– Abayomi Azikiwe, Editor Pan-African News Wire and Contributing Editor for Workers World

“From the point of view of Filipino workers in the United States, the largest exploited and abused Filipino workforce outside the Philippines, with over 4 million in the country, we are pleased with the exposé of imperialist globalization as the main culprit of global forced migration. Only by understanding capitalism and monopoly capitalism can we understand the root causes of global poverty and migration.”
– Berna Ellorin, Secretary-General, BAYAN USA
