Description: For your consideration, a rare and pivotal book , The Machiavellians, written by James Burnham (1905–1987) a former Trotskyist and professor of philosophy, who rejected dialectical materialism in favor of logical empiricism in 1940. In 1941 he published The Managerial Revolution. In the work, he offered theories about the new form of society which was emerging to replace capitalism, based upon his observations of capitalism's development in the interwar period. He saw much in common between the economic formations of Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, and America under Franklin D. Roosevelt and his "New Deal". He perceived that a new society had emerged in which a ruling class of "managers" had assumed all power and privilege. In a later book, The Machiavellians, he developed his theory, arguing that the emerging new elite will have to retain some democratic trappings—political opposition, a free press, and a controlled "circulation of the elites".
