Part analysis of contemporary change and part vision of the future, post-Fordism lends its name to a set of challenging, essential and controversial debates over the nature of capitalism's newest age. This book provides a superb introduction to these debates and their far-reaching implications, and includes key texts by post-Fordism's major theorists and commentators.

"Those tempted to venture onto this contested terrain would be well
advised to choose their guidebook carefully and at present there
are few which do the job better that Ash Amin's edited collection.
The book's key virtue, it seems to me, is that it does not pursue a
particular agenda in relation to the debate, but draws its
contributions from across the spectrum of opinion." J. H. Love,
Regional Studies
"If this particular Reader were a CD then it would no doubt be
called 'Now That's What I Call Post-Fordism' or perhaps 'The Best
Book on Post-Fordism... Ever!'." Andrew Leyshon, University of
Bristol
