Too Much Efficiency

by E.J. Rath

""Too Much Efficiency"" is a book written by E. J. Rath and published in 1917. The book addresses the issue of efficiency in the workplace and how it can negatively impact workers and their overall well-being. Rath argues that the obsession with efficiency can lead to a dehumanization of the workforce, as workers are treated as mere cogs in a machine rather than as individuals with unique needs and abilities. The book also explores the impact of efficiency on the quality of work produced and the potential for burnout among workers. Overall, ""Too Much Efficiency"" is a critique of the industrialization of work and a call for a more humane approach to labor management.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the author

E.J. Rath was the pseudonym of J. Chauncey Corey Brainerd and his wife Edith Rathbone Brainerd. Chauncey and Edith, who were both writers, went on to collaborate on a number of stories together under the pen name E.J. Rath. Chauncey was a veteran of the Spanish-American War. At the time of his death he had been the Washington bureau chief for the Brooklyn Eagle for over ten years. They were married on June 4, 1903.
While watching a movie one snowy night in Washington, DC, Chauncey Corey Brainerd and his wife Edith were killed when the flat roof of Crandall's Knickerbocker Theatre collapsed under the weight of over two feet of heavy snow. More than 200 other moviegoers and theater employees were killed or injured on that night during what became known as The Great Knickerbocker Storm of 1922.
