What are the possible future worlds of social science? How do these prospects compare with recent conclusions that social science "is generally a non-factor in policy debates and irrelevant to the lives of a host of real-world people," as a well-known sociologist reported in the centennial volume of the American Sociological Association? This substantial study covers history, art and aesthetics, identity and the self, in seeking an answer to the question of 'Future Worlds'.

During the 1980s the news media were filled with reports of soaring unemployment as 'downsizing' and `restructuring' became the new buzzwords. In this volume, the authors examine the U.S. auto industry and present a full-scale analysis of the work and retirement decisions of its workers.
