The author, having served as both Secretary of State for War and on a committee concerned with the machinery of government, was uniquely positioned to comment on the state of public service at the time. At the core of his argument is the belief that the traditional motives of private profit and ownership were no longer reliable motivators for workers and that the problems faced by many industries were rooted in the relationship between labor and management. The author believed that a shift toward state-run enterprises could provide a solution, allowing for greater cooperation and creativity in the workplace, though he recognized the importance of selecting capable administrators for such a system. He suggested that training administrators and exposing them to both technical and general education would best prepare them to lead these industries. By advocating for a reconsideration of the role of administrators in public service and proposing a new model for industry, this book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of nationalization.
