Organizational Revolution: An End to Managerial Orthodoxy
Managerialism is one of the main philosophical issues of our times. Its orthodox values trivialize the human essence, diminish human dignity, and widen the gap between a privileged class of managers and the rest of the people. This orthodoxy must be revolutionized before a homegrown form of American totalitarianism emerges. This article presents a critique of the orthodox values, suggests a vision of four ways a revolution in values could proceed…

Administrative Crisis: The Neglect of Metaphysical Speculation
Some of the magnificence and the malaise in America is captured by the headnote quotation from Norman Mailer. Americans are fascinated by the successful solution of elaborate technological puzzles, yet many sense at the same time that technology may also be a malefactor as well as a benefactor in their lives. Deeper still beneath this ambiguity lies the uneasiness that technology is detaching the nation from the traditional values which gave it s…

This question has economic, sociological, and psychological dimensions. But power is also part of its c…
