Originally published in 1980, the essays in this volume analyse a
family of phenomena in advanced industrial societies for which
neither liberal nor Marxist theories provide a systematic
explanation. Berger and Piore argue that these phenomena represent
a structural solution to the economic and political problems of
distributing economic uncertainty and preserving political
stability. The discontinuities in industrial societies are not the
product of incomplete modernisation but of political and economic
choices that perpetuate and recreate segmentation to protect
critical political and economic mechanisms. Studies by Piore
examine the labour market and its relationship to technological
innovation and capital investment, whilst those by Berger explore
the social foundation of political parties and the formation of
state policy as it emerges from competitive political forces.
