Among the God-given liberties of Americans is the right to blast governmental bureaucracy. It is now in particular vogue to blame a bloated government for most national problems. But there is another bureaucracy equally as damaging or worse, argues David M. Gordon, a professor at the New York School for Social Research in New York, who died in March at age 51. He contends that a huge inefficient bureaucracy of corporate bosses hoards a disproportionate share of the national income at the expense of the people who are doing the real work and, in turn, leads to conflict and tension. Gordon provides a wealth of statistical evidence to support this theory.
The New York Times Book Review, Louis Uchitelle
The Gordon case is this: Standard economic theory has masked the most important reason for the stagnating incomes and the rising inequality of income levels.... The real malefactor, Gordon argues, is corporate America's approach to management.
