ISBN: 9781859840719 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

He takes the tired old cliches of management-speak of the New Right and New Left alike and turns them on their heads: managers are not efficient, they are barriers to work and production. Liberal democracy which now means the free market and the strong state should be turned upside down, with democracy at the level of the...
