Publisher's Synopsis
The New State: Group Organization, The Solution Of Popular Government is a book written by Mary Parker Follett and originally published in 1918. The book presents the author's ideas on how to improve democracy through the organization of groups. Follett argues that traditional forms of government, such as representative democracy, are inadequate and that a new form of government is needed that is based on the organization of groups. Follett believes that group organization is the key to creating a more effective and efficient government. She argues that groups can be organized around common interests and that they can work together to achieve common goals. By doing so, groups can create a more democratic and participatory form of government that is more responsive to the needs of the people.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the problems with traditional forms of government and introduces the concept of group organization. The second part explores the principles of group organization and how it can be applied to government. The third part discusses the practical applications of group organization in government, including the role of leaders and the importance of communication.Overall, The New State is a groundbreaking book that presents a new vision for democracy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political theory, government, and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
