Manufacturing Possibilities examines adjustment dynamics in the steel, automobile and machinery industries in Germany, the U.S., and Japan since World War II. As national industrial actors in each sector try to compete in global markets, the book argues that they recompose firm and industry boundaries, stakeholder identities and interests and governance mechanisms at all levels of their political economies. 制造可能性考察了二战以来德国、美国和日本钢铁、汽车和机械行业的调整动态。他们试图在各个行业和企业的政治层面上，在各个行业和企业的利益边界上进行竞争。
