I remember first hearing "post-industrial" in my Sociology 101 class I took in 1974. Comment One thing for certain, our society is not in transition from economic, social and political feudalism and manufacture, powered by the industrial revolution, as was the case during the life of Marx and the Soviet Revolution. How one chooses to describe America today is the source of much controversy. The revolution in the means of production does not change the contradiction that is the bourgeois property relations or the wage labor form. Rather, society begins its leap to a new mode of production.
