Reviews
"This is a marvelous collection of fourteen essays brilliantly organized around an introduction by all three editors and epilogue by Swatos. The problem of bureaucracy is its built-in tendencies to supplant democracy. The editors demonstrate Max Weber's considerable concern about this. Weber argued that socialism would not fare better than capitalism in tempering bureaucracy's antidemocratic characteristics. . . . This significant and timely collection will be appreciated by graduate students, academics, enlightenable bureaucrats, and defenders of democracy. It is clearly written, high-level scholarship, with extensive notes and bibliography to direct the reader back to Weber and forward to current supporting literature." Contemporary Sociology

    The book came exactly as described and packaged well. The shipping time was long but not unfair. I had some issues tracking but contacted the seller and they were responsive and accommodating. Great price and quality and I will be purchasing again if possible! Cheers!
