Abstract
The dominance of the large-scale formal organization is a central feature of contemporary American society. This article overviews those societal trends that are bound up with organizational dominance and presents some implications for social welfare. It argues that the combination of large-scale organizations and traditional industrial arrangements results in the formation of a stable yet chronically underfinanced welfare system whose level of support and character is crucial to the lives of an increasingly alienated lower class. Organizational dominance implies that changes in bureaucratic rules have important consequences for large segments of society; however, strong social forces militate against any significant changes in those rules affecting public welfare.
