La crise bureaucratique

The bureaucratical crisis We are living in a growingly uncertain context. The quick change imposed on societies has entailed an imbalance of traditional arrangements and has rendered, to say the least, inoperative the established rules for resolving conflicts. Our democratic industrial societies are experiencing a bureaucratical crisis. To overcome this, the author, after discussing its various aspects, proposes a strategy of change. According to him, the problem is not so much passiveness and inertia in our present societies than the lack of an organizing principle of these reactions. The problem is not so much a lack of resources than a lack of leverage and the impossibility, resulting there from, of branching these resources to the regulatory Systems. Yet in order to overcome this difficulty, trust ought to be put onto Man, the only true innovator ; there is no point in attempting to regulate for him everything down to the minutest detail
