The Triumph of Managerialism?: New Technologies of Government and their Implications for Value - Paperback

by Anna Yeatman (Editor), Bogdan Costea (Editor)

This book brings management and organisational theory into dialogue with political thought and philosophy. It explains the allure of managerialism in relation to contemporary ethical and political perplexities and shows how managerialism displaces the question of authority and its relationship to politics, government and the professions.
