Abstract
The eleven essays contained in World of Possibilities are the outcome of an international seminar on "Historic Alternatives to Mass Production." They range widely in period (eighteenth century to late twentieth century) and in geographic scope (United States, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Italy, France, England, and Germany). Its scope is one of the great strengths of the volume; these essays enable the English-only reader to look at detailed cases [End Page 366] that are usually available only to the multilingual. Many of the essays also give us a close look at industries that rarely receive attention because they lie outside the standard stories of industrialization. Finally, and most germane to the goals of the volume, they look at specialized industries, large and small, that succeeded outside the realm of Fordist mass production.
