Abstract
In this chapter, I argue that a critical understanding of the notion of a knowledgebased economy (KBE) in advanced capitalism requires attention to the ways that the details of everyday occupational life and learning represent an important arena of political economic struggle. As elsewhere in this volume, the discussion below relates to questions defining the nature of a KBE. For example, I respond to the very real impacts of the increasing speed of innovation and change in work processes which often, as is the case in the research below, is mediated by new forms of production technology and work design.
