Offers an analysis of what the authors describe as the new work order, theories which have swept the business world in the past few years emphasizing on-the-job learning, worker empowerment, collaboration, participatory decision making and so on. The authors argue that these enchanted workplaces are not as democratic or empowering as the rhetoric would have us believe, and that adult educators in particular need to be aware of the way in which this fast capitalism is disempowering certain groups.
