“Patterns of Anarchy” is a collection of writings published in 1966. I came to it because a) Christopher Alexander quotes from it in “A Pattern Language” and b) because as a consultant and developer I’m interested in different patterns of organising.

(And the "now" in the book still very much applies today.)
Next up are anarchist descriptions of how organisations are "traditionally" (i.e. almost always) structured. Paul Goodman kicks us off with a description that fits as well today as it did when he penned it.
“The system was designed for disciplining armies, for bureaucratic record-keeping, and tax-collection, and for certain kinds of mass production. It has now pervaded every field.” On Some Prima-Facie Objections to Decentralism by Paul Goodman (pp 379)
While we've Drucker on our minds, lets stay outside Patterns of Anarchy for a minute more.
There's definitely mileage in investigating this...
Back to "Patterns of Anarchy" again for some more history...
