The book "Restructuring the Automobile Industry: A Study of Firms and States in Modern Capitalism" by Columbia University Press offers a comprehensive analysis of the automotive industry's transformation in the context of modern capitalism. The author examines how firms and states interact to shape the industry's development and how these interactions affect society. The book focuses on the technological advancements that have driven this change and how they have influenced the industry's structure and governance. The author argues that understanding the technological process of developing modern knowledge is essential for human survival and unity in a world torn apart by conflict. The study highlights the need for a personal paradigm shift in perceiving technology's role in shaping our future. This shift involves recognizing technology as a tool for unifying people rather than dividing them. The book emphasizes the importance of adapting to technological changes to ensure the industry's sustainability and the well-being of society. The book is divided into four parts, each exploring a different aspect of the automotive industry's restructuring.
