Book Review: Colin C Williams and Friedrich Schneider, Measuring the Global Shadow Economy: The Prevalence of Informal Work and Labour.

But, Williams and Schneider re-introduce these persistent issues with a unique critical lens that problematizes not only how current shadow definitions exist only relationally to the formal economy, but with a lexicon structured on that which is missing or incomplete (e.g. unregulated, irregular, informal, etc.).
