Document Summary
Post-fordism, the division of labor and new industrial spaces. 1) geography and the division of labor: a theory of industrial organization. 3) growth dynamics, agglomeration and new industrial spaces: reading 18 is really important make sure you read it. Last week the focus was on regulation theory and we described the key concepts. Important to study the evolution of capitalism and identify certain periods of time where production activities were similarized across different countries: we saw that transition from fordism to post-fordism lead to shifts in the world space-economy. Examples: silicon valley, montr al biotech and aerospace clusters, 3rd. Italy (show making, glasses) etc. and etc. if you go to south shore another type of industrial cluster. String set of firms that are interconnected that sell parts. Same thing can be said about the biotech and biochemical industry. We talked about shenzhen in china, vietnam, bangalore.
