Moseley also provides estimates of "nonproductive" workers overall, and that proportion also grew enormously. However, many of those (like Dumenil and Levy's "managerial and clerical personnel" in the last section of this volume) are not bureaucrats. Consequently, while we know there is more bureaucracy in this sector, it is hard to say how much more. In the government sector, the simplest number would be the proportion of government employees in the population. However, some are not bureaucrats-for example, a police officer walking a beat, or a soldier carrying a rifle.
Not all those in government are bureaucrats, and some in manufacturing are. But the comparison sounds ominous. 31 My own inspiration for beginning to study bureaucracy was the experience of moving from a small liberal arts college to a large university, which is a part of an even larger state university system which, in tum, is part of a large state government. The impact of bureaucratic hierarchy on academia is another ill-studied area. 20 THE STUDY OF BUREAUCRACY Moseley [1991], the proportion of supervisory workers almost doubled from 1950 to 1990.
While imperfect information is not the driving force behind Beck- 34 THE NATURE OF BUREAUCRACY mann's analysis, Williamson [1967J and Calvo and Wellisz [1978J suggest that while some aspects of supervision may be necessary to production, supervision may also arise from workers' preference for on-the-job leisure over work. Calvo and Wellisz abstract from productive supervision and analyze the circumstances in which a multilayer hierarchy is more efficient (profitable) than a nonhierarchical firm when supervisors' only task is to ensure that those under them do not shirk their assigned duties.
