A system of production and accumulation characterized by flexibility of both labour and machinery, the vertical break-up of large corporations, small-batch production, better use of links between firms so that subcontracting is increasingly used, just-in-time production, niche consumption, commodified culture, and the popularity of monetarist ideologies among governments. Post-Fordism is associated with agglomeration, which will simplify interaction between linked forms of economic activity. See A. Amin (1994). Phelps (2002) Antipode 34, 2 considers the lineage of post-Fordist work practices. Linda McDowell (2010) TIBG 16, 4, 400 is somewhat brisk on ‘the new gender order of post-Fordism’.
