The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong by Raymond Hull and Laurence J. Peter

Why is the human race foundering in a morass of occupational, academic, and administrative inefficiency? Here, at last, is the answer in the delightful, dead-pan humor of this book. Not only do the authors reveal why the world is so completely screwed up, but they provide proven techniques for creative control of personal, social, and business problems. They analyze the reasons for human failure and tell how to achieve a state of well-being by avoiding that unwanted, ultimate promotion. Students of Freud, Potter, and Parkinson will be fascinated by this satirical examination of man's tendency to escalate himself to oblivion at his level of incompetence. This 1971 Pan Paperback is in fair condition. Pages beginning to tan, cover worn, previous owner's name written in pen on page one.
