Excerpt from The Problem of Nationalization
The failure of the old motives in the coal industry does not mean its transfer to the control of a Government depart ment. Whatever the merits of that form of government and they are many - the experience of the war is clear that it is unsuited to the special needs an industrial service like the mines will demand. The higher ranks of the Civil Service are largely recruited from Oxford and Cambridge graduates, who pass a rigorous and, on the whole, searching, competitive examination. Such a method of recruitment has produced marvellous results. With all its defects, it gave Great Britain before the war the one Civil Service in the world that was capable of combining efficiency with liberalism. But by the method of its organization it is hierarchical in its nature. It does not therefore breed in its members either the initiative or the flexibility, the sense, in a word, of inventiveness which the conditions of a nationalized industry must demand. Nor would it call into play the creative motive in the mass of the workers which we have now come to realize is essential to industrial well being. The organization we must have in view must proceed upon different lines.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nationalization of industries like coal and transportation in the wake of World War I. 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.
