Abstract: Bureaucracy is not a recent phenomenon. Its beginnings go a long way back in history. Looking into the issue of bureaucracy is a good starting point for the study of two social systems – capitalism and socialism. Such an analysis must be built onto the comparison between profit based management and bureaucratic management. Weber and Mises are two important names to mention when talking about bureaucracy. They both authored studies on bureaucracy, (Weber – Economy and Society in 1922, and Mises – Bureaucracy in 1944 and 1962). However, they each approached the topic from completely different angles and reached completely different conclusions regarding the nature and consequences of bureaucracy.
