Hierarchy and Organisation

More about the book

The book explores the enduring nature of hierarchical social structures, challenging the assumption that such systems are natural or inevitable. Author Thomas Diefenbach develops a comprehensive theory to analyze why hierarchical order persists across various social systems, including groups and organizations. By examining the underlying causes, interests, and mechanisms that sustain hierarchy, the work encourages readers to critically reflect on the complexities of social stratification and consider alternative possibilities for societal organization.
