Lesson 36-2 Thecost of government

The administrativeoverheads of a business are low to the extent that everyone working in thebusiness can be trusted to behave in a way that best promotes the interests ofthe firm. If they can each be trusted to take suchresponsibilities, and to exercise such initiative as falls within their sphere,then administrative overheads will be low. It will be low because it will benecessary to have only one man looking after each job, without having anotherman to check upon what he is doing, keep him in line, and report on him tosomeone else. But if no one can be trusted to act in a loyal and responsiblemanner towards his job, then the business will require armies ofadministrators, checkers, and foremen, and administrative overheads will risecorrespondingly.
