  "map_content": "Burnham\u2019s claim was that capitalism was dead, but that it was being replaced not by socialism, but a new economic system he called \u2018managerialism\u2019 \u2013 rule by managers. Written in 1941, this is the book that theorised how the world was moving into the hands of the \u2018managers\u2019. Burnham explains how Capitalism had virtually lost its control, and would be displaced not by labour, nor by socialism, but by the rule of administrators in business and in government.\nThis revolution, he posited, is as broad as the world and as comprehensive as human society, asking \u2018Why is \u201ctotalitarianism\u201d not the issue?\u2019 \u2018Can civilization be destroyed?\u2019 And \u2018Why is the New Deal something bigger than Roosevelt can handle?\u2019 In a volume extraordinary for its dispassionate handling of those and other fundamental questions, James Burnham explores fully the implications of the managerial revolution.\nPraise for James Burnham:\n- \u2018Burnham has real intellectual courage, and writes about real issues.\u2019 \u2013 George Orwell\n- \u2018The stoic, detached, empirical, hard-boiled, penetrating, realist mind of James Burnham is something to behold, to admire, to emulate.\u2019 \u2013 National Review\n- \u2018James Burnham was an astonishing writer. Subtle, passionate, and irritatingly well-read.\u2019 \u2013 New Criterion\n- \u2018The immense significance of Burnham\u2019s approach is potential. We can ignore it only at the risk of being disarmed by the future course of events.\u2019 \u2013 Irving Kristol",
