Abstract
Connecting with earlier debates in Capital & Class, this article criticises the model of flexible specialisation, popularised by Sabel, Piore and others. Drawing upon his own extensive research in the Emelia-Romagna district of Italy, Fergus Murray rejects the view that workers stand to benefit, materially and politically, from new flexible labour processes. The paper briefly considers the implications for alternative strategies of economic restructuring.
