Organizing America
Summary:
The book examines the historical development of large organizations in the United States, arguing that the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few large corporations was not an inevitable outcome of industrialization but rather the result of specific policy decisions and social movements. It explores the impact of corporate capitalism on American society, including the implications for democracy, economic inequality, and the balance of power between corporations and other social institutions.
Key points:
1. Power and Wealth Concentration: Perrow shows that a few big corporations hold most power and wealth in American capitalism, a trend starting in the early 1800s. This leads to unequal resource distribution.
