The Manifesto and the Middle Class
This paper examines Marx's claim in the Manifesto that capitalist society would polarize into two classes in light of the current evidence on growing inequality in American society. It argues that the middle class of industrial society is not an anomaly but a product of the incomplete development of capitalism and this middle class is presently being threatened with extinction through technological innovations in the forces of production

The social organization of production, competitive advantage and foreign investment: American automobile companies in the 1920s and Japanese automobile companies in the 1980s
This paper compares the establishment of American assembly plants in Europe during the 1920s and the establishment of Japanese assembly plants in North America during the 1980s. It argues that these were similar in a number of respects, most importantly that the basis of the American advantage of the 1920s and the Japanese advantage of the 1980s was, in fact, the same, namely, a specific social organization of production: Fordism for American com…
The Japanese World of Work and North American Factories
This paper argues that the Japanese advantage in the world market is not, as is frequently claimed, based on a set of techniques for the organization and management of production. As a result, neither the simple export nor the emulation of these techniques can insure Japanese levels of labor peace, productivity and quality outside of Japan. Instead, the Japanese advantage is based on the aggregate result of these techniques in the context of Japa…
Enterprises and B Phases: The Overseas Expansion of U.S. Auto Companies in the 1920s and Japanese Auto Companies in the 1980s
This article addresses a neglected aspect of long wave theory—the increase in certain types of investments during a B phase. Drawing on Arrighi's conceptualization of long waves, a theoretical explanation is developed for increased investments, especially foreign investments, during a B phase. Two examples of foreign investment during a B phase are then examined: American automobile companies in Europe during the 1920s and Japanese automobile com…

The Origins of Fordism: The Introduction of Mass Production and the Five-Dollar Wage
The introduction of moving assembly and the five-dollar wage at the Ford Motor Company are examined to demonstrate that these were not, as is generally claimed, separate responses to two problems - the inability to meet demand and labor turnover - confronting the company at the time. By tracing changes in the organization of production and productivity at Ford, I show that labor turnover and the inability to meet demand were interrelated; the fun…
