As capitalist countries continue to celebrate the demise of socialism, Willard F. Enteman makes the startling assertion that capitalism has already ended. Additionally, Enteman argues that industrialized nations are not democratic either. In Managerialism, Enteman explores the fundamental principles of the three dominant world ideologies--capitalism, socialism, and democracy--and proposes that a new ideology, which he calls "managerialism," more accurately describes the current world situation.
Willard F. Enteman is professor of philosophy, Rhode Island College. He is the author of Retirement 101, published by the University of Wisconsin Press, and editor of The Problem of Free Will.
"Managerialism rests upon the notion that 'the society (nation) is nothing more than the summation of the decisions and transactions which have been made by the managements of the organizations.' This ideology replaces both capitalism and socialism as the fundamental force shaping the character of the major business and non-business organizations in the contemporary world."-Albert A. Anderson, Babson College "Managerialism is a fascinating and most useful review of sociological, philosophical and economic history, focused around the ideas-the ideology-used to justify business activity in the West during the last 300 years."-George Lodge, Harvard University
