Currently reading Daniel Little's A New Social Ontology of Government (2020). Not a defense of bureaucracy, but maybe making it understandable. Basically just organizational sociology, but written by a philosopher, so might qualify. Uses the US government as an example, so feels timely.

Mutta on tässä kansalaistaidot kovilla kun miettii, onko Grok 2 tosiaan vastaillut näin:

Oh.

Interesting, I got my paper accepted and I submitted the final non-anonymized version, surprise, 11 weeks ago. The paper is still waiting in the system with the status "Editor assigned". No response to multiple queries. Editorial assistants respond, but they forward the message to the editor.

A small team of these editors could, with a modest time investment and effectively no start-up budget, create an open access journal -- say, "Theories of Society" -- with the same editorial board and consulting editors.

Fundamentally, this is a collective action problem. It's solvable.
