The New State - Mary Parker Follett - Bog

The New State: Group Organization, The Solution Of Popular Government is a book written by Mary Parker Follett and published in 1918. The book explores the concept of group organization as a solution to the challenges of popular government. Follett argues that the traditional model of government, where power is centralized in a few individuals, is inadequate in meeting the needs of a modern society. Instead, she proposes a model of government where power is shared among groups, and decisions are made through a process of collaboration and consensus-building.Follett draws on her experience as a social worker and management consultant to provide practical examples of how group organization can be implemented in various settings. She also explores the challenges and potential pitfalls of this model of government, including the need for effective communication and the potential for groupthink.Overall, The New State is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about government and the role of individuals in shaping society. It remains a seminal work in the fields of political science and organizational theory, and its ideas continue to be relevant to modern-day debates about democracy and governance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
