No, I meant actually in the late 19 C. around the times of the art & crafts
movement where the preconditions for the consumer culture already are in
place (Adrian Forty's work comes to mind here). I guess I don't think of the
interwar period as "later" relative to those "machine-age" categories used
for the industrial revolution. And without getting into yet another wacky
thread, one could say, "control revolution"-wise, that the "post-industrial"
may begin in the interwar period with the rise of regulation, but yes it is
before the height of fordist production, or is it?
