Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In this book, a key question is discussed: what is the effect of globalization on societal level inequality? Intended for undergraduates, the book investigates the links between global processes and shifting patterns of stratification, inequality, and social mobility. Most books directed at undergraduates tend to seperate discussions of micro-level processes (finding work, e.g.), or macro-level processes (shifting economic structures, e.g.), or global inequality (between societies) withoutmaking concrete the connections between the different levels. This book will integrate discussions of both literature and provide sociology students with analytical and conceptual tools to define, understand, and assess the assumptions and positions withint the globalization debate. In addition, the book will illustrate how global processes are linked to stratification and inequality in general, but particularly in the United States. Policy issues raised by globalization will be discussed, with an eye towards identifying innovative and effective community-based responses to social inequality.
