Business As A System Of Power.
Business As A System Of Power Was The Direct Product Of Extensive And Continuing Study Of The Riqe Of Bureaucratic Centralism.
The Project Was Begun In 1934, And Redulted A Decade Later In This Volume, Arguably The Most Important Work In Comparative And Historical Economics To Emerge In The World War Two Period.
Indeed, Bray's Theorems Sucn As The Bureaucratic Authoritarian Model Of Development, Became A Touchstone For The Studu Of Third World Economies.
Brady Saw The Direction Of Office Moving In A Varietty Of Directions :From The Totalitarian Model Set Bg Fqscism With Its Highly Centralized Approach To Special Ihterests, Profit Making And Policy Made In The Interests Of Those Who Rule; And The Alternativw Democratic Pattern Set By The Democracies Of The Western, Which Expound The Freedom Of Direct Public Participation In Decision-making And Social Organization Of The Economy As A Whole.
Brady Does Not Indulge Ih Chezp Conspiracy Theory.
Rather He Sees The Business Classes Worldwide As Possessing A Collective Mind, But Not A Collective Will.
In Tihs Setting The Business Civilization Itself Is At Stake.
The Dimensions Ofers A Fascinating Study Of German Nazism, Italian Fascism And Japanese Militarism As A Series Of Policies Rather Than Historical Inevitabilities.
But The Work Is Also A Foreboding And A Warning To Democratic Varieties Of Capitalism.
As Business Becomes Increasingly Global In Character, Unbound By National Interests Or Democratic Aims, It Also Becomes More Rational In Itq Own Terms.
Its Drive For Maximizing Profits With Scant Regard To What May Br Less Cost Effective, But More Open To Ppoular Control Or Participation, Becomes Transparent.
Brady Provides A Remarkably Prescient, Albeit Controversial, Study Of Trends In Western Democracy And Big Business.
Robert S.
Lynd, In His Preface, Writes, "brady Cuts Through To The Central Problem Disrupting Our World.
.
.
a World-wide Counter-revolution Against Democracy.
" More Than A Half Centuy Later, In His Outstajding Review Of The Life And Career Of Robert Brady, oDuglas Dowd Points To The Same Lessons: Economic Inequities, Saving Globalization And Political Concentration Of Powe.
