Bureaucracy
Professor von Mises addressed himself to a particular issue: what is the
essential difference between bureaucratic management by government and
market management in a system based on private ownership of the means
of production? Mises does not discuss bureaus or bureaucrats, but inexorable
principles of human action. He does not condemn bureaucracy, which is
the appropriate technique for the conduct of government agencies such
as courts of law, police departments, and the Internal Revenue Service;
however, in economic production and distribution, the bureaucratic method
is shown to be an abomination that spells universal ruin and disaster.
