Abstract

Part of the analysis of contemporary change, “Fordism” lends its name to a set
of challenging, essential, and controversial debates over the nature of 20th century capitalism.
By highlighting its ambiguities, this short article aims to outline the heuristic value of
“Fordism” as a theoretical concept.
