DESCRIPTION:The income distribution of industrialised countries became les
 s unequal during the 20th century as a result of trade union power and gov
 ernment intervention. The globalisation of markets and the fragmentation o
 f production have undermined this. Attention is turning to the concern tha
 t large corporations have to maintain good reputations with consumers. Inc
 reasingly it is this\, rather than direct pressure from governments or tra
 de unions\, that offers the best chance of upholding decent labour standar
 ds. How is this being exploited?
