Book V — Scientific Governance

Scientific governance does not mean rule by scientists. It means governance that behaves scientifically.

Traditional institutions can become trapped by prestige, political identity, administrative inertia, or self-preservation. Scientific governance begins from a different premise: that the institution is probably wrong about something important, and that the job of its structure is to find out what.
