There’s this passage in Systemantics which talks about “dual bureaucracy” in ancient Egyptian organisations (presumably public office).
It sounds like an excellent idea, but I cannot find any sources.
Does anyone know if it is true, and of any research or articles which explain it in more detail?
@samir @rysiek If you’re interested in doing some legwork, I would consider contacting the author’s widow :)
I was in touch with her over the phone last year to buy a copy of the book (Website was broken, so I tried the phone number).
I got the impression that: 1. She’s a lonely older woman who did not mind having someone to talk to for a few minutes. 2. She’s intimately familiar with subject matter.
