This book is about the organization man. If the term is vague, it is because I can think of no other way to describe the people I am talking about.... They are the ones of our middle class who have left home, spiritually as well as physically, to take the vows of organization life, and it is they who are the mind and soul of our great self-perpetuating institutions.
