Driving Productivity reconstructs the industrial histories of the American and German automotive industries, offering a fresh perspective on their development. From the Fordist assembly line to Japanese lean production and Industry 4.0, Anthony J. Knowles critically examines major technical developments within the historical dynamics of capitalism. Both countries face the pressure to automate, transform labor, and increase efficiency, yet their responses differ due to divergent paradigms of integrating business, labor, and government. The book makes a strong case that improving productivity is a never-ending process that becomes a compulsory social imperative that industries must respond to but that is nevertheless responded to differently between countries.
