Taming the Bureaucrat

"Taming the Bureaucrat" begins with one physician's curiosity about the increasing bureaucratization of medicine and concludes that bureaucratic systems cast a wide shadow over virtually all aspects of modern society - the legal system, government agencies, religious bodies, financial institutions, military organizations, etc.

The common thread is the prevalence of the "structured" personality whose iron grip on society has become ever more powerful in the Information Age. Bureaucracies can quickly become criminalized as occurred in fascist countries in the World War II era.

The volume concludes with suggestions for controlling bureaucracy that is flourishing in the 21st century, and threatens to expand dramatically if left unchecked.
