Abstract

The term ‘the new work order’ is used by Gee et al. (1996) to characterize work during this time of perpetual ‘change’. The ‘new work order’, the authors argue, is the form of work associated with ‘fast capitalism’. Four features of the discourse of ‘fast capitalism’ are highlighted. These are:

• increased dependence upon science and technology in processes of production, distribution, consumption and change.
