At the time that Louis Galambos published The Public Image of Big Business in America in 1975, America had matured into a bureaucratic state. The expression of the military-industrial complex and big business grew so pervasive that the postwar United States was defined in large part by its citizens' participation in large-scale organizational structures. Noticing this development, Galambos maintains that the "single most significant phenomenon in modern American history is the emergence of giant, complex organizations." Today, bureaucratic organizations influence the day-to-day lives of most Americans?they gather taxes, regulate businesses, provide services, administer welfare, provide education, and on and on. These organizations are defined by their hierarchical structure in which the power of decision-making is allotted according to abstract rules that create impersonal scenarios. Bureaucracies have developed as a result of technological changes in the second half of the nineteenth century. Based on the premise that these structures had a stronger influence on modern America than any other single phenomenon, this book explores the public's response to the growth of the power and influence of bureaucracy from the years 1880 through 1930. What results is an examination of the social perception of bureaucracy and the development of bureaucratic culture. 606 $aÖffentliche Meinung$2gnd$3(DE-588)4043152-6 606 $aSozialer Wandel$2gnd$3(DE-588)4077587-2 606 $aBig Business$2gnd$3(DE-588)4127458-1 606 $aSocial history$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919811 606 $aIndustries$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00971967 606 $aBig business$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00831592 606 $aIndustrie$xAspect social$zE?tats-Unis$xHistoire 606 $aGrandes entreprises$zE?tats-Unis$xHistoire 606 $aIndustries$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aBig business$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$2gnd 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aUnited States$xConditions sociales 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1933-1945 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1918-1932 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1865-1918 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aÖffentliche Meinung. 615 7$aSozialer Wandel. 615 7$aBig Business. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aIndustries$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aBig business. 615 0$aIndustrie$xAspect social$xHistoire. 615 0$aGrandes entreprises$xHistoire. 615 0$aIndustries$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aBig business$xHistory. 676 $a338.6/44/0973 700 $aGalambos$b Louis$0120171 702 $aSpence$b Barbara Barrow 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524866903321 996 $aThe Public Image of Big Business in America, 1880-1940$92642853 997 $aUNINA
