World of Possibilities : Flexibility and Mass Production in Western Industrialization (Studies in Modern Capitalism)

Rating:
Summary: No improvement from previous book?
Review: Charles Sabel clearly showed his bright idea regarding flexible specialization in his co-authored book published in 1984 with Piore. The new book, however, falls short of reader's expectation that something should have been added to his world of theory.
Is he just playing around with words and repeating what he has spelled out in his "The Second Industrial Divide"? This book just trys to fit the real world in his theoretical world. The world has changed a lot, but not his world of flexible specialization. This is a professional deformity.
