What is a “bureaucracy”?
• Let’s start by breaking the word down into two parts…
• The first part you see at the left…
![Page 5: Homework: Study for the Chapter 7 Test](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813b53550346895da443fc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is a “bureaucracy”?• And we know the second
half of the word, “cracy” means “to rule”.
• So together, the word bureau-cracy literally means– “to rule from a desk”
• The idea is that government workers, who often work at desks, are essentially “ruling us”…– As we shall see, this is
actually not too far from the truth…scary, eh?
