Cambridge University Press Producing Hegemony The Politics of Mass Production and American Global Power 38 Cambridge Studies in International Relations Series Number 38
Book SynopsisIn this book Mark Rupert argues that American global power was shaped by the ways in which mass production was institutionalized in the USA, and by the political and ideological struggles integral to this process. The production of an unprecedented volume of goods propelled the United States to the apex of the global division of labor, ensuring victory in World War II and enabling postwar reconstruction under American leadership. He describes an 'historic bloc' of American statesmen, capitalists and labor leaders who fostered a productivity-oriented political consensus within the USA, and sought to generalize their vision of liberal capitalism around the globe. He focuses on the incorporation of industrial labor as a junior partner in this hegemonic bloc, and argues that the recent erosion of its position under the pressures of transnational competition and the political forces of right wing reaction may open up new possibilities for transformative politics.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Marx, Gramsci and possibilities for radical renewal in IPE; 3. The quality of global power: a relational view of neoliberal hegemony; 4. The emergence of mass production practices and productivist ideology; 5. State-society relations and the politics of industrial transformation in the USA; 6. Fordism vs. unionism: production politics and ideological struggle at Ford Motor Company, 1914–1937; 7. Unionism is Americanism: production politics and ideological struggle at Ford Motor Company, 1937–1952; 8. Fordism and neoliberal hegemony: tensions and possibilities; Notes; Bibliography; Index.

Cambridge University Press A History of Business in Medieval Europe 12001550
Book SynopsisThis book reviews business in medieval western Europe, probing its Roman and Christian heritage to discover the economic and political forces that shaped its organization. Medieval businessmen's remarkable success in coping with devastating plagues, famines, and warfare prepared the way for the economic expansion of the sixteenth century.Trade Review"...Hunt and Murray provide a very well informed and intelligent exposition of medieval business developments for the nonspecialist." Choice"[Hunt and Murry's] basic findings are that business was driven by the demand of the elite for exotic goods, and that the lasting contribution of Medieval business was organization rather than the innovations they imported." Reference & Research Book News"[Hunt and Murray's] basic findings are that business was driven by the demand of the elite for exotic goods, and that the lasting contribution of Medieval business was organization rather than the innovations they imported." Reference & Research Book News"This succinct and beautifully written book is a worthy edition to the distinguished series, Cambridge Medieval Textbooks." The Historian"...at last we have a nuanced alternative to the old orthodoxies and an eminently persuasive one which, while never underplaying the genuine problems of the late medieval economy, creates a scenario in which the early modern economic take-off makes sense." Envoi."Hunt and Murray have done a valuable service in producing this textbook...The authors are also to be commended for their ability to transform sometimes technical business jargon into well-crafted, readable prose."
