In the European context, unions have tended rather to be co-opted into permitting outsourcing and offshoring in return for job and social protection guarantees, although this negotiation is again structured by the constructed ‘inevitability’ of neoliberal globalization. The defeat, or co-optation, of unions has been critical as they potentially presented a serious barrier to outsourcing and the creation of global value chains. Similarly, in relation to home ownership, the UK Thatcher government’s ‘right to buy’ policy, providing tenants of government housing (‘council houses’) with a legal right to purchase their homes at preferential rates, was a highly effective tool in cementing and universalizing attitudes towards home ownership and, more generally, class orientation (Jacobs, Kemeny, & Manzi, 2003).

Notwithstanding the impact of free trade on overall national economic performance, it intensifies competition by exposing production processes to international cost comparison. This permits imports from low-wage economies, undercutting prices in developed countries with the (largely invisible) impact of undermining the bargaining power of workers while enhancing the capacity of those in work to consume.
