"An informative accounting of the consequences of an offshoring world and an impassioned critique of the offshored condition." Theory, Culture & Society "Offshoring shines a light on yet another of the shadowy realms upon which contemporary capitalist normalities rest." Times Higher Education "Urry writes with clarity and offers very useful examples to explain points.I would strongly recommend this book for teachers to purchase copies to be placed in their school/college/department libraries so that students can pursue the negative side of Globalisation in detail and be aware of lots of contemporary examples." The Sociology Teacher ''Exposing capitalism's expanding economy of secrecy, John Urry reveals a terrifying picture of catastrophes waiting to happen, of global inequalities difficult to comprehend, and of human rights violations on an appalling scale. Sociology at its best, warning us of the worst. Offshoring should be required reading for all undergraduates.'' Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley ''This is one point of John Urry's thought provoking book: the outside suggested by the concept of 'offshoring' no longer exists. Therefore politics of offshoring today are simultaneously domestic and global. And like Urry so excitingly does we have to ask: how can the 'outsourced' citizen of the world be included in decisions which affect their survival?'' Ulrich Beck, University of Munich
