ABSTRACT
The analogy between government and Private Corporation is only sketched by Galbraith and is developed more fully by bureaucratic politics theorists. Portions of the market sector also try to make alliances and get help from government. This chapter considers the dynamics of the whole system including the planning sector, market sector, and government that the system must necessarily expand without limit. The combination of organizational and system dynamics enables Galbraith to transcend both organization and system theories by including government in the system. Government as an organization is similar to a private corporation and therefore determined by similar dynamics. The objectification of government has enabled Galbraith to see that government is too much a dependent part of the planning sector to have any substantial freedom of action toward the corporations. Government is part of the problem. The central empirical topic opened up by the objectification of government is government itself.
