Bureaucracy

5.3. The Bureaucrat as a Voter

Bureaucracy by Ludwig von Mises
Ludwig von Mises

The bureaucrat is in a peculiar position: he is both employer and employee. And his pecuniary interest as employee towers above his interest as employer, as he gets much more from the public funds than he contributes to them.

From Chapter V: “The Social and Political Implictations of Bureaucratization”. Narrated by Millian Quintero.
