Crisis in Greek agriculture: diagnosis and an alternative strategy

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the impact of Fordism on the development of Greek agriculture. Drawing upon historical and contemporary data, the author argues that the importance of technological change and transformations in the labour process of agriculture production have often been underestimated or seen purely in technical terms. Such one-sided accounts are comprehensively criticised and an alternative account is provided which emphasises broader class, social and political conditions.
