The Managerial Revolution

Originally written in 1941, this influential work by James Burnham explores the rise of "managerialism," a new form of economic and social rule led by managers rather than traditional capitalists or labor. Burnham examines how the control of capitalism shifts toward administrators in both business and government, raising fundamental questions about civilization and power. Praised for its analytical depth and realism, the book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the evolving landscape of societal authority.
