The Study of Bureaucracy
Chapter
Abstract
Social scientists have long recognized the existence of bureaucrats and bureaucracies, whether that recognition is traced back to Max Weber or Karl Marx. Some scholars have tried to analyze these phenomena and determine their place in social systems. However, most social scientists, and economists in particular, have ignored or abstracted from both, concentrating on what they have considered more important issues.
