The One Best Way

Frederick Winslow Taylor and the Enigma of Efficiency (The MIT Press)

Robert Kanigel

This biography delves into the life and legacy of Frederick Winslow Taylor, the first efficiency expert who invented a system known as Taylorism. Taylor's influence can still be seen in our obsession with time, order, productivity, and efficiency that marks our age. This compelling chronicle takes Taylor from his privileged Philadelphia childhood to the factory floor to international fame, telling the story of a paradigmatic American figure whose influence remains insidious today.
