America Comes of Age a French Analysis

Andre Siegfried

  1. Translated from the French by H.H. Hemming and Doris Hemming. Siegfried was the professor of economics, Paris School of Social Sciences. The following is an excerpt from the text: If the aim of society is to produce the greatest amount of comfort and luxury for the greatest number of people, then the United States of America is in a fair way to succeed. And yet a house, a bath, and a car for every workman-so much luxury within the reach of all-can only be obtained at a tragic price, no less than the transformation of millions of workmen into automatons. Fordism, which is the essence of American industry, results in the standardization of the workman himself.
