Abstract: Abstract In social reality — despite changing names and ideologies — the domination of individuals by individuals still remains an historical continuum linking pre-managerial to managerial societies. However, current managerial societies have altered the base of domination to some extent.617 They have done this by gradually changing personal dependence of slaves on masters, serfs on lords, and subsequently workers on management with an additional dependence. This is the new and ideological dependence on Managerialism.618 It is found in managerial domination with corporate policies, rules, markets, and corporations all glued together by the ideology of Managerialism. The managerial order of things is the result of domination as much as it carries domination forward. Nevertheless, it also remains true that managerial domination has generated a form of higher rationality affecting managerial societies. Together with Managerialism, it sustains its own hierarchical structures while simultaneously exploiting, ever more efficiently, the natural resources of planet earth as well as the mental resources of its knowledge workers within the knowledge and service societies.
