On the Political Economy of ‘Post-Fordist’ Telecommunications: The US Experience

The article examines the impact of deregulation in the US telecommunications industry on communications workers and unions. The erosion of the traditional telephone monopoly is explained as part of the crisis of the postwar US economy's Fordist mode of development. Theoretically, the analysis draws upon a critical reception of French regulation theory and the so-called state-derivation debate among West-German Marxists.
