      Set in interwar France, the book explores the belief that 'organization' could remedy social, economic, and political challenges. It traces the origins of this idea within the industrial rationalization movement and highlights its impact on various sectors, including domestic organization and economic planning. By examining the contributions of experts from engineering to biological sciences, it reveals how their insights influenced the vision of a rational socio-economic order from the 1920s through the Vichy regime and beyond.
