This volume evaluates the contributions that consumer services can make to local economic development and revitalization. A broad range of consumer service industries are examined in turn: tourism, sports, universities, retailing and cultural industries.

How will work be organised in the future? With its global perspective and critical approach, Re-Thinking the Future of Work provides not only an overview and examination of the array of competing visions, but also a radical rethink about the direction of change.

This book challenges many of the popular myths surrounding informal economic activities, offering a radical reconceptualisation of their extent, growth, location and nature as well as evaluating the contrasting policy options.
