‘Williams and Schneider, two of the most respected colleagues in this field have pulled off a fascinating book. This is a resource, which will genuinely benefit a range of actors interested in the informal economy from governments, taxation authorities, trading standards to students of the sociology of work and enterprise. Brilliant.’
– Gerard McElwee, University of Huddersfield, UK
‘Tax evasion and the various types of deviant behaviour that lead to unproductive entrepreneurship outcomes have long been considered harmful to economies around the world. In this light, this book, written by two leading scholars in the field, is undoubtedly a considerable contribution to the debate, especially when it comes to assessing the size of the shadow economy in various regions of the world and providing valuable policy suggestions.’
