What Is Bureaucracy and its Effect

Feb. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- Bureaucracy is the group of expert officers who performs rationalized performances in large scale organization, especially government ones. Thus an organization is said to be bureaucratized when its procedures for action and decision have become formalized and impersonal through elaborate rules that are "public". The growth of modern government is thus been as intimately (http://examinationessays.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-way-of-happiness.html) tied to the development of bureaucracy, and no modern state could operate without bureaucracy. The popular antithesis between bureaucracy and democracy is an oratorical slogan that endangers the future of democracy. For a constitutional system that cannot function effectively, that cannot act with dispatch and vigor, cannot alive. Fortunately, both the Swiss and the British have shown that an effective, responsible bureaucracy is quite compatible with second constitutionalism.

The American philosopher and critic James Burnham says "Bureaucracy, a theory of the managerial revolution", technological progress and the growth of large scale economic as well as political bureaucracies deprived the old capitalist class of the central of the means of production. The effective control of the economy and of political power had passed to the managers-that is, to the production executives and to the administrators of the state bureaucracy. He predicted that at a large stage of development, private ownership would be abolished and the bureaucrats would appropriate collectively, through the state, the means of production. These managers would impose a new type of oligarchic order".
