Description

Capitalism, Social Privilege and Managerial Ideologies traces the evolution of administrative thought from the nineteenth century to the present, examining how management discourse functions as ideological legitimation of social interests. Originally published in 2005 and reissued by Routledge, this scholarly work challenges the conventional view of management theory as progressive refinement, instead revealing a trend towards fictionalization in contemporary organizational paradigms. The book argues that successive waves of managerial ideology - from classical administration through modern participative models - serve specific social and economic interests rather than representing genuine theoretical advancement. By analysing administrative thought as ideological discourse, Gantman demonstrates how claims about flatter, more democratic organizations mask underlying structures of power and privilege. Essential reading for scholars of business history, organizational studies, sociology and critical management theory seeking to understand how managerial ideologies shape and sustain capitalist social relations.

Key Features
