OK, that's interesting. I'll have to see if I have the Gambino article
(which, I assume is "Workers' Struggles and the Development of Ford in
Britain" in _Bulletin of the Conference of Socialist Economists_, March
1976). I do remember the Alquati book, though, and was quite impressed
with it at the time (incidentally, Robbie Guttmann, a person that you
might not  immediately think of as one was was influenced by this work but
who was, lent me his copy of the book, possibly as a German translation,
lent me his copy way back in 1980). You discuss Alquati briefly in your
book. Do you know of any critical review or discussions of either of the
two sources above in English?
