赫茨菲尔德认为，“现代”官僚管制的社会并不比人类学家传统研究的社会更“理性”或更少“象征性”。他认为，我们无法理解脱离地方层面关于机遇、个人性格、社会关系和责任的观念的国家官僚机构。“赫茨菲尔德的书是非常雄心勃勃的，将感兴趣的任何人类学家关注的研究官僚机构，组织和制度控制，符号和他们的权力，和社会冲突。很有挑战性。”--海伦B。施瓦茨曼，美国民族学家
Herzfeld argues that "modern" bureaucratically regulated societies are no more "rational" or less "symbolic" than the societies traditionally studied by anthropologists. He suggests that we cannot understand national bureaucracies divorced from local-level ideas about chance, personal character, social relationships and responsibility. "Herzfeld's book is extremely ambitious and will be of interest to any anthropologist concerned with the study of bureaucracy, organizational and institutional control, symbols and their power, and social conflict...Thoughtful and challenging."--Helen B. Schwartzman, American Ethnologist
