| The craft unions lost their strong position in the labour market in the wake of Taylorism and Fordism. |
| Techniques of industrial mass production, also known as Fordism, created mass consumption, even though very unevenly. |
| The development of the welfare state based on Fordism was supported by mass consumerism to stimulate growth. |

| The former phenomenon-the industrialisation of culture-emerged as a process with the rise of Fordism. |
| For one thing, I remain unconvinced that it was the welfare state that was central to Fordism. |
