Overview

Bill Dunn considers and contests accounts of globalization and post Fordism that see structural economic change in the late Twentieth century as having fundamentally worsened the conditions and weakened the potential of labour. Including a comparative survey of restructuring in four major industries automobiles, construction, microelectronics and finance, the book suggests the timing of change and its complex and contradictory nature undermine structural explanations of labour's situation. It redirects attention towards labour's political defeats and own institutional shortcomings.
