In this provocative study, Paul du Gay makes a compelling case for the continuing importance of bureaucracy. Taking inspiration from the work of Max Weber, du Gay launches a staunch defence of `the bureaucratic ethos and highlights its continuing relevance to the achievement of social order and good government in liberal democratic societies.
