For more than thirty years the solution to all Britains problems has been better management. As a result management schools dominate higher education and managers are at work everywhere developing strategies and systems and quantifying outcomes. There are now more managers on the rail network than train drivers, yet the benefits of modern management of railways, schools, hospitals and universities are elusive.



This is because management does not existthe academic study of management science and the assumption that there are universal management skills are bogus. This book shows how modern management practices have all but destroyed politics, education, culture and religionmodern management is the cause of our national malaise.
