  1. 1. Bureaucracy

    "Bureaucracy" is a critical examination of the structure and function of bureaucracies in both the public and private sectors. The author argues that bureaucratic management, with its focus on rules and regulations, is not only inefficient but also stifles innovation and individual initiative. He further contends that these problems are inherent in the nature of bureaucracy itself and are not simply due to poor management or corruption. The book also explores the impact of bureaucracy on economics, politics, and society as a whole.
