The various chapters are devoted to assessing every aspect of lean production from the perspectives of its supporters and subsequently of Marxist theorists, and this is not limited to just the surface phenomena of the production process - deskilling and globalization are given their due in this book as well. Refuting such silly "new economy" enthousiasts like Florida, Kenney and Womack, political philosopher Tony Smith demonstrates the complete applicability of the Marxist critique of capitalism to each and every real development demonstrable in lean production, and also that the change from Fordism to lean production serves to confirm rather than disprove the expectations of Marx & Engels on the relevant points. The final chapter then provides an alternative way of producing as conceived by Tony Smith, which seems to be basically a form of market socialism, heavily leaning on David Schweickart. Personally I consider market socialism to have significant flaws, but that need not detract from this book's value (and the chapter is rather an aside anyway).
It must be said that this book is written in a rather dry style, especially in the first chapters, and some intermediate knowledge of microeconomics is recommended. The very detail and in-depth discussion of the production processes and the various specialists' commentary on them make for excruciatingly slow reading, so that the just over 150 pages of actual text in this book may take as much as twice the usual time.
