Abstract
If Fordism clearly belongs to the past one still finds it difficult to characterise the New Growth Regime of the developed economies. The popularised notion of New Economy was of little help in that respect and its vagueness has been part of its success until the dramatic fall of the shares of the hi tech companies on the stock markets in 2000-2001 badly affected its credibility.
