A man has to wonder somehow - what possible value do academicians contribute to our society that they should be so venerated and be allowed to get away with writing tripe like this? I could only get through 25% of the book before the combination of rotten writing, bureaucratic apologism and ivory-tower condescension made it too much to bear.
The work goes into the history of bureaucracy of Weber, and going through the 20th century evolution of government services - or the lack thereof - and defending them every step of the way in the most inept way possible. Privatisation of government services is mentioned, and then dismissed with (and I quote): "Nobody serious considers this more than an expedient short-term cost-cutting strategy".
If you want to hear what a blind supporter of bad systems sounds like, by all means read the book. I would personally rather flay my skin with a trowel than try to learn why New Zealand has 34% better turnover rates than the UK in a completely vestigial bureaucratic mess of a government.
