This important collection presents in two volumes the most
significant papers on the history of mass production and highlights
crucial debates in the attempt to understand the phenomenon and its
social and economic effects. The selection focuses on six important
themes. Volume I opens with an exploration of the antecedents to
mass production and an investigation of the mechanical, economic
and social roots of the transformation in production methods at the
beginning of the 20th century. The following section examines the
emergence of 'Fordism' and the fundamental elements of the new
system. The final section describes the extent to which mass
production has spread through the wider economy and the ways in
which it has changed in the process. In Volume II, the first
section covers the impact of mass production on work and the
workers. The second section looks at how Japan has exploited the
principles of mass production and may indeed have evolved a new
form of productive organisation. The concluding section raises the
question of whether in the late 20th century the dominance of mass
production is in decline.
