Post Fordism in Sound
Post Fordism in Sound: First, write a 250-300 word reflection on how Springsteen’s popular history of the PostFordist shift can help us to understand the concrete, individual impact of the broader economic shifts and transformations that Harvey discusses in abstract terms. In your reflection, think both about Springsteen’s critique of the old, Fordist system and his account of the new, anxious post-Fordist reality.
Second, identify one song that you think best reflects the cultural impact of the Great Recession (the 2007-8 crisis). Your song should be from the period between 2008 and the present. Provide a link to the song (or a video of the song) and, if possible, a link to the complete lyrics. In addition provide a short description (200 words) of how and why you think this song presents a useful and important perspective on the impact of the Great Recession on individuals and popular culture. In your description identify specific lyrics that support your argument. In addition, consider how this source might used by future historians to learn about the culture and history of the Great Recession.
