Burnham explains how Capitalism had virtually lost its control, and would be displaced not by labour, nor by socialism, but by the rule of administartors in business and in government.\n\nThis revolution, he posited, is as broad as the world and as comprehensive as human society, asking \"Why is 'totalitarianism' not the issue?\" \"Can civilization be destroyed?\" And \"Why is the New Deal something bigger than Roosevelt can handle?\"\n\nIn a volume extraordinary for its dispassionate handling of those and other fundamental questions, James Burnham explores fully the implications of the managerial revolution.","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47398051971308,"sku":"9781839013188","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21116703482842.jpg?v=1773738688"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/james-burnham.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
