Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Peers and Bureaucrats: Two Problems of English Government Both the word bureaucracy and the thing have an evil savour in the nostrils of most Englishmen. The word, a horrid hybrid of French and Greek, deserves everything that can be said against it. As for the thing, the average intelligent Englishman, without troubling to analyse it very carefully, instinctively dislikes and despises it. He thinks it essentially "un-English." He associates it with the rule of red tape, with the intolerable insolence of the jack-in-office, with all sorts of pedantic invasions of the freedom of action of the individual. He believes that it is to be seen in its logical development in Russia, in the cold-blooded formalism of the second-rate intelligences that submit to be the agents of despotism. He resents with almost equal intensity the forms which it assumes in Germany, where he has a vision of an inhumanly overeducated and priggish set of officials meddling in every detail of private life - a whole nation for ever suffering the discomforts of the parade-ground.
