However, global processes of transformation have revolutionized industrial capitalism since the early 1970s, thus configuring a post-Fordist system of production. In this book, the author investigates the emergence of a new flexible labour force in contemporary Western societies. Current penal politics can be seen as part of a broader project to control this labour force, with far-reaching effects on the role of the prison and punitive strategies in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45237916237975,"sku":"9781138253957","price":4233.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138253957.webp?v=1769218010","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/re-thinking-the-political-economy-of-punishment-perspectives-on-post-fordism-and-penal-politics-9781138253957","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
