Beyond Camelot: Rethinking Politics and Law for the Modern State

This book offers a groundbreaking new perspective on modern government, arguing that traditional concepts of power, discretion, democracy, legitimacy, law, rights, and property are no longer relevant in today's administrative system.

Instead, it proposes a new framework drawn from management science and engineering, which provides a more accurate description of how our government actually works.

The book explains the causes and character of the failure of traditional concepts to provide us with the tools we need to understand and improve modern government, and offers a fresh approach that focuses on the interactions between government units and citizens, as well as the mechanisms by which government obtains compliance.

This is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand and improve the complexities of modern governance.
