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>

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]].

===''Suicide of the West''===
Another of Burnham's better known books is ''Suicide of the West: An Essay on the Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism'', to which he makes the case of "Liberalism as the Ideology of Western Suicide."<ref>[http://www.nationalreview.com/article/415964/james-burnham-visionary-no-other-matthew-continetti James Burnham: A Visionary Like No Other]</ref> In ''Suicide of the West'', Burnham wrote:
<blockquote>Liberals, unless they are professional politicians seeking votes in the hinterland, are not subject to strong feelings of national patriotism and are likely to feel uneasy at patriotic ceremonies. These, like the organizations in whose conduct they are still manifest, are dismissed by liberals rather scornfully as ‘flag-waving’ and ‘100 percent Americanism.’ The national anthem is not customarily sung or the flag shown, unless prescribed by law, at meetings of liberal associations. When a liberal journalist uses the phrase ‘patriotic organization,’ the adjective is equivalent in meaning to ‘stupid, reactionary and rather ludicrous.’ The rise of liberalism to predominance in the controlling sectors of American opinion is in almost exact correlation with the decline in the ceremonial celebration of the Fourth of July, traditionally regarded as the nation’s major holiday. To the liberal mind, the patriotic oratory is not only banal but subversive of rational ideals; and judged by liberalism’s humanitarian morality, the enthusiasm and pleasures that simple souls might have got from the fireworks could not compensate the occasional damage to the eye or finger of an unwary youngster. The purer liberals of the Norman Cousins strain, in the tradition of Eleanor Roosevelt, are more likely to celebrate UN day than the Fourth of July.<ref>[http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/01/suicide-of-the-west.php "Suicide of the West"], [[Power Line]]</ref></blockquote>
