Part analysis of contemporary change and part vision of the future, post-Fordism lends its name to a set of challenging, essential and controversial debates over the nature of capitalism’s newest age. This book provides a superb introduction to these debates and their far-reaching implications, and includes key texts by post-Fordism’s major theorists and commentators.
