According to conventional wisdom, globalisation's 'race to the bottom' undercuts welfare protections in developing countries, with the biggest losers being the poor. This study argues for a more complex conceptualisation, noting that it is the middle classes, the real beneficiaries of these welfare systems, who are most affected.
