- Title
Revisiting the issue of class structure in Labor and Monopoly Capital.
- Authors
Tinel, Bruno
- Abstract
The application by the capitalists of the Taylorian principles of management on a large scale leads to a separation of conception from execution. According to Braverman, the main effect of this propagation is to polarize class structure. Nevertheless, he also identified several counter-tendencies. The process involves both deskilling and reskilling movements and it is not fully convincing to say that there for sure is a class polarization. The counter-tendencies can therefore not be taken as minor nor as necessarily dominated by the class polarization tendency. Therefore, the global outcome is likely to be more indeterminate and unstable than suggested by Braverman.
