This chapter examines some aspects of change in the demand for infrastructure in the U.S. space economy, relating this to “flexible accumulation,” a label given in recent years to the evolving capitalist system. Derivatives of the flexible accumulation label such as flexible specialization and flexible production have subsequently been coined to describe changes in industrial organization accompanying capitalism’s evolution. While the labels were first applied to manufacturing reorganization, their perceived relevance for describing reorganization trends among the service sector has been increasing.
