Which of the following industries did Blauner (1964) suggest was most alienating to its employees?
machine-based factory work
textile work as craft production
car manufacturing in assembly plants

car manufacturing in assembly plants
Blauner (1964) wanted to apply Marx’s concept of alienation to the workplaces of the 1950s, and considered how the impact of different technologies might have changed the experience of work. He compared four types of work place in terms of their levels of alienation (which he defined in terms of meaninglessness, self-estrangement, powerlessness and isolation). In ascending order of alienation, these were: craft production, machine-based factory work, automation and assembly plants. 679
