Summary
In the late 1970s, the landscape of the global automotive industry provided a stark contrast: Western car manufacturers were struggling in shrinking markets, closing dozens of plants, and laying off hundreds of thousands of workers; while the success of Japanese car manufacturers benefited from phenomenal export growth that seemed unlikely to stop. How can one explain such a reversal in the global fortunes of automotive production and how should nations and workers deal with it?
