Book Review: Link, Stefan J. Forging Global Fordism: Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, and the Contest over the Industrial Order. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2020. 328 pp.
Abstract
In Forging Global Fordism, Stefan J. Link asks how Fordism influenced globalization and industrialization in Nazi Germany and the USSR in the second quarter of the 20th century. Using archival materials, the author sheds light on the technology exchange between these countries, the impact of Henry Ford’s book My Life and Work, and the way the two regimes adapted Fordism for their modernizing projects. Link further examines the implications of Fordism for postwar US economic and industrial hegemony, emphasizing its contribution to the establishment of a global system based on industrial capitalism and mass production.
