Livelihoods at the margins

James Staples

About this book

Sex workers, street hawkers, drug sellers, cleaners - they are people living on the margins of urban life who are ubiquitous but notably absent from mainstream economic analyses. This volume cuts through the conventional narratives that romanticize, victimize, or demonize these populations.
