Section: Managerial Revolution
* “Modern liberalism, for most liberals, is not a consciously understood set of rational beliefs, but a bundle of unexamined prejudices and conjoined sentiments. The basic ideas and beliefs seem more satisfactory when they are not made fully explicit, when they merely lurk rather obscurely in the background, coloring the rhetoric and adding a certain emotive glow.” [http://www.publiusforum.com/a-conservative-library/]

==''The Managerial Revolution''==
In 1941, Burnham published one of his best known books, ''The Managerial Revolution'', which created "quite a stir" in both England and the United States.<ref>{{cite web |last=Orwell |first=George |url=http://www.k-1.com/Orwell/site/work/essays/burnham.html |title=Work : Essays : James Burnham and the Managerial Revolution |date=1946 }}</ref>
In ''The Managerial Revolution'', Burnham lists four ''Managerial Ideologies'':<ref name=managerial>{{cite book|last1=Burhnam|first1=James|title=The Managerial Revolution: What is Happening in the World |date=2003|publisher=John Day Company|location=New York|pages=185-205}}</ref>
* Leninism-[[Stalinism]] ([[Communism]] or Bolshevikism)
* [[Fascism]]-[[Nazism]]
* [[New Deal]]ism
* [[Technocracy]]
The book was (and still is) unusual for its focus on the underside of the [[Administrative State]], or managerial state, as Burnham makes the case that "''Under the centralized economic structure of managerial society, regulation (planning) is a matter of course''".<ref name=managerial>(p. 132)</ref> Commonly, writers separate the various ideologies apart based on the nature of their master plans without examining their core use of [[Central planning]].
