Abstract

There is a common belief that social systems are sensitive to any disruptions due to the fit of the individual elements of the social mechanism. That is why bureaucracy was created, as an organizational step towards rationality and efficiency on a large scale. The conditions for getting rich were created by capitalism, but there was a need to structure and establish rules for the functioning of society coupled with the free market. Bureaucratic organizations develop mainly where there is social differentiation, and appropriate resources are mobilized to solve problems, reaching various groups and spheres of life. It might seem that it is impossible to fight bureaucracy, but after joining the European Union, it began to develop and grow. The so-called statistical taxpayer does not understand that he is the main payer of taxes and contributions for bureaucratic extravagances. However, bureaucracy, contrary to widespread criticism about its inadequacy in the face of complex reality, is changing under the influence of modern concepts of public management. The aim of this article is to show the connections between bureaucracy and corruption, and the thoughts of libertarians on this administrative phenomenon.
