Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915), origiantor of "scientific management", now mostly known as "time and motion study".
Even if Taylor's system provoked redentment and opposition from labour when carried to its extremes, its value in rationalizing production was indisputable and its impact on the development of mass-production techniques immense.
From the library of Swedish antiquarian bookdealer Björn Löwendahl (1941-2013).
