Over the last two days I've come to the conclusion that a good way to deepen one's appreciation and understanding of anarchism is to study the "Dilbert" comic strip. I am a latecomer to the strip, for which I could kick myself. If this is how people are in "voluntary" organizations, imagine what they are like in coercive organizations. (The sneer-quotes indicate that corporations are sheltered from the full force of the winds of competition. Things would be otherwise -- slightly, at least -- if they weren't.)
Hat tip: free-market anti-capitalist Kevin Carson, Mutualist Blog, for his repeated references to "Dilbert."
Jeremy, I have much to learn about the subject. There's an interesting podcast lecture about the state as an organization at Mises.org. If you can recommend good reading on organization theory, please do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. My own top recommendation for a good treatment of organization is Paul Goodman's People or Personnel.
