life and work
Sabel studied social sciences at Harvard University , where he earned his bachelor's degree in 1969 and his doctorate in 1978.
In 1976 he was a research assistant in a project group in the department headed by Jürgen Habermas at the Max Planck Institute for research into the living conditions of the scientific and technical world in Starnberg and co- authored the study on economic crisis tendencies in contemporary capitalism (1978).
From 1977 to 1995 he taught and researched at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where he held lectureships and from 1987 a professorship for political and social sciences. In 1995 he moved to the Law School of Columbia University in New York.
It owes its scientific reputation, which extends well beyond the Anglo-American scientific community , to the publication The Second Industrial Divide (1984), which was written together with Michael J. Piore and which appeared just one year later as a German edition under the title The End of Mass Production . With the thesis of “requalification of work” under the production conditions of “ flexible specialization ”, the book inspired the scientific discussion about post-Fordism as a new capitalist model of production.
In 1982 he was a MacArthur Fellow .
