CARS AND GLOBAL LATE SOCIALISM
CARS AND GLOBAL LATE SOCIALISM

Summary/Abstract: In the last decades of the 20th century, the world of capitalist production underwent extensive transformations. It has spread and contracted, it has become ever more differentiated, and it reconfigured spaces of production and distribution, as well as centres of accumulation. Scholarly literature documents the dominant trends of these decades: reterritorialization of the production chains, increasing mobility of capital, precarious employment, vulnerabilities in the realm of social reproduction, and the emergence of new managerial ideologies for a more effective control of labour. These structural transformations, which came to be understood as an entangled transition from the postwar social contract to neoliberal policies, and from Fordism to flexible production, left traces all over the globe.
