The great relevance of Max Weber's ideal type of bureaucracy for understanding modern public administration is insufficiently acknowledged. Critical examination of the claims made to support "new conventional wisdoms" in the study of public administration reveals a remarkable similarity in the arguments made against Weber's ideal type of bureaucracy.

While A Democracy of Distinction offers a substantial contribution to scholarship on Aristotle's political thought, Frank's final chapter, "The Polity of Friendship," leaves the reader wanting more. Arrival at this final chapter, however, leaves one hoping for reflection on the bigger picture of how this contribution to Aristotle scholarship fits into contemporary political philosophy as a whole.
