Bureaucratic Culture and Escalating World Problems: Advancing the Sociological Imagination

Fifty years after of the publication of C. Wright Mills’s The Sociological Imagination, the “bureaucratic ethos” that he described has continued to escalate. The eleven authors of this book carry further and systematically develop Mills’s broad vision of the scientific method as they analyze escalating bureaucratic barriers that prevent us from solving our many pressing social, environmental, and economic problems.
