THOUGHTS was written to encourage readers to think more about words
and their meanings. To see the beauty of life in words one reads
and to encourage recalling memories of simple situations. THINK
HAPPY THOUGHTS
Combining theories of calculation and property relations and using
an array of archival sources, this book focuses on the building and
decommissioning of state- owned defense factories in World War
II-era Chicago. Robert Lewis's rich trove of material-drawn from
research on more than six hundred federally funded wartime
industrial sites in metropolitan Chicago-supports three major
conclu- sions. First, the relationship of the key institutions of
the military-industrial complex was refashioned by their
calculative actions on industrial property. The imperatives of war
forced the federal state and the military to become involved in
industrial matters in an entirely new manner. Second, federal and
military investment in defence factories had an enormous e ect on
the industrial geography of metropolitan Chicago. The channeling of
huge lumps of industrial capital into sprawling plants on the urban
fringe had a decisive impact on the metropolitan geographies of
manufacturing. Third, the success of industrial mobilisation was
made possible through the multiscale relations of national and
locational interaction. National policy could only be realised by
the placing of these relations at the local level. Throughout,
Lewis shows how the interests of developers, factory engineers,
corporate executives, politicians, unions, and the working class
were intimately bound up with industrial space. Offering a local
perspective on a city permanently shaped by national events, this
book provides a richer understanding of the dynamics of wartime
mobilization, the calculative actions of political and business
leaders, the social relations of property, the working of
state-industry relations, and the making of industrial space.
