Description
An introduction to what has become known as "regulation theory" in political economics. Lipietz analyzes the "Fordist" model of economic development dominant in the postwar years and shows how it can be seen to account for the political and economic crisis of the last decades of the 20th century. Drawing on examples from the recent history of Europe, the Third World and North America, Lipietz argues that there are two intersecting economic reasons for the crisis - the changing international economy and the experience of reaching the limits of Fordist forms of production. In doing so, he charts the responses of governments and businesses to the weaknesses of fordism and their proposals for a post-Fordist future.
