Summary
How has America’s political economy changed from the long post-war “Fordist” era to the contemporary post-Fordist or knowledge economy? How has this shift affected economic growth and inequality of income and regions? Most analyses focus on specific aspects, like aggregate income inequality, or the rise of a shareholder value model for corporate governance, or increased trade competition (aka globalization), or the financial sector’s disproportionate power and profitability (aka financialization).
