Description
“The Unaccountability Machine” explores why large organizations, including markets, institutions, and governments, often produce outcomes that are undesirable and unintended by their members. Dan Davies delves into the concept of management cybernetics, introduced by economist Stafford Beer in the 1950s, which views organizations as artificial intelligences capable of making decisions independent of individual intentions. The book examines how ignoring these principles has led to contemporary political and economic crises, offering insights into systemic failures and potential solutions.
