		The essential point of the author is that at the dawn of the 21st century capitalism has made a decided break with the past in emphasizing "flexibility," which is a strategy to constantly re-engineer, usually resulting in downsizing, to seek low-wage locales, and to emphasize diversity in production.

		Everything a character says tells the actor something - from the things that character thinks about, to their level of intelligence or education, their status in society, or how they feel.
