Whatever happened to in ?

Abstract

This book is a very important addition to research resources on London and its immediate region. It has particular merits in the way it goes behind many conventional wisdoms, replacing them with nuanced and grounded accounts of London as a whole and of six localities within it. The review is critical of the book on two levels, however. It underestimates the importance and the pervasive effects of real estate markets in shaping the city. At a more fundamental level, the authors are taken to task for an approach which masks crucial underlying social processes. An alternative reading is sketched. Working Capital: Life and Labour in Contemporary London, Nick Buck, Ian Gordon, Peter Hall, Mike Harloe and Mark Kleinman (with Belinda Brown, Karen O’Reilly, Gareth Potts, Laura Smethurst and Jo Sparkes). Routledge, London, 2002, pp xvi + 408, ISBN 041527931 3 (cloth) and 041527932 1 (paperback).
