Braverman is renowned for his Labor and Monopoly Capital, which reinvigorated a Marxist theory of the capital labor process in which deskilling was a concomitant of the division of labor within capitalism. The assembly line pioneered by Henry Ford represents the hallmark of this development. Braverman contested the claim that with new technologies and the increasing importance of the service sector the deskilling process would decelerate. Taylorism, as “the explicit verbalization of the capitalist mode of production,” would, he argued, continue to dominate, even as new technologies and industries developed. Conception would continue to be divorced from execution in the labor process. A major criticism of Braverman's deskilling thesis is that Taylorism's concern for managerial control of labor need not be an end in itself, but alternative strategies involving increasing autonomy and reskilling may serve capital's fundamental goal of maximizing profits. A legacy of Braverman, however, is that attention to Taylorism and deskilling has not been confined to historical studies. Low skilled jobs remain and recent attention has focused on call centers, fast-food chains, logistics warehouses and the mass production of sandwiches and other ready-made foods.
