Description

The Managerial Revolution: What is Happening in the World In 1941, James Burnham published a seminal work that challenged the conventional understanding of the world's economic and political systems. The Managerial Revolution posits that capitalism is being replaced by a new economic system, "managerialism," characterized by the rule of administrators in business and government. Burnham's theory suggests that the traditional power structures of capitalism are being eroded, and that a new era of management is emerging. This revolution, he argues, has far-reaching implications for the nature of civilization and the role of government. With dispassionate clarity, Burnham explores the implications of this shift, examining the relationship between totalitarianism, the New Deal, and the future of society. This thought-provoking volume offers a nuanced analysis of the managerial revolution, inviting readers to consider the profound changes that are shaping the world.
