I've never read Burnham's "Managerial Revolution" but from what I've head about it conservatives like it because he convinces them socialism is inherently bureaucratic -- or something like that. Seems to me that for the nascent Soviet Union to survive the civil war, industrial as quickly as possible to be able defend itself against what they all knew was coming, and actually beat the for more advanced Nazi war machine they had to have a very strong centrally planned economy. That this huge bureaucracy couldn't adapt in the postwar decades to different circumstances was an enormous, tragic failure. No doubt bureaucratization is and remains a challenge in the management of our complex societies. Stalin talked about it, so does Xi Jinping today.
Cynthia Chung devotes a chapter to Burnham in her new book a copy of which I only just received a few days ago, haven't had the chance to read it yet. Really curious on her take.
