  27. Fordism Lecture 1) Define Fordism (or Organized Capitalism) 2) 5 elements of Fordism 3) Spatial logics and outcomes of Fordism a) Global scale b) National and regional scale c) Urban scale 4) Conclusion: Crisis of Fordism

  28. Part 1 Definition of Fordism (Organized Capitalism)

  29. Antonio Gramsci“Americanism and Fordism”

  30. Fordism Definition: As a new labor process Fordism can be defining as the mutual reinforcement of mass production and mass consumption enabled by a highly specialized labor force mobilized in assembly-line production industries that produced standardized and affordable goods for mass markets. Based on Knox, Agnew, and McCarthy (2008) pp. 9-10.

  31. Keynesianism The use of fiscal policy (like budget deficits, government expenditures to stimulate aggregate demand/economic activity) and the goal of full employment do to growth of supportive and off-shoot industries related to already established industry (“multiplier effect”). John Mayard Keynes

  32. Part 2 5 Elements of Fordism (Organized Capitalism)

  33. 1 Mass production Distinctive type of labor process: Mass production based on production mechanization to moving assembly-line techniques operated by semi-skilled labor.

  34. 2 Rationalization Also known as “Taylorism” was the organization of manufacturing industries where the planning is given entirely to management. Production workers are then assigned specialized tasks that are analyzed for their efficiency. Led to standardization practices. Frederick Taylor

  35. 3 Mass consumption Of durable goods which was made possible through higher wages and advertising advances. The forms of culture that emerged emphasized homogeneity and conformity.

  36. 4 Bureaucratized labor unions Growth of collective organization and bargaining within regions and nation state. Incorporation of diverse class interests within a national agenda set through negotiated compromises and bureaucratic regulation.

  37. 5 Robust government regulation Keynesianism, thus close articulation of state and large monopoly capital interests and the rise of class-bases welfare system.

  42. Part 3 Urban Spatial Logic

  43. Ernest Burgess’ Concentric Circle Model “the physical growth of the city, and with the extension of the technical services that have made life not only livable, but comfortable, even luxurious” Burgess (1924)

  44. Conclusion: Crisis and Post-Fordism
