The Logistics Revolution and the Blockade
Manage episode 192033550 series 20984

As corporations have embraced a model of lean, flexible, just-in-time production, they have made their operations more profitable and have disempowered workers all along the supply chain. But, as Jasper Bernes explains, these innovations have simultaneously heightened the vulnerability of retailers and other businesses to the protest tactic of the blockade.
