Britain invented the factory, and some say America perfected it. Where are factories now, and what happened to the world of work that went with them? Features reports and dispatches from the scene of making things all over the world, including new writing by Isabel Hilton, Eric Schlosser, and Robert Sullivan; a report on Bhopal 20 years after the disaster; a return to Akenfield — the town the factory forgot — with Ronald Blythe; and a photo essay by Alec Soth.
