Set in interwar France, the book explores the concept of 'organization' as a remedy for social, economic, and political challenges. It traces the origins of this idea within the industrial rationalization movement and highlights its impact on various sectors, including domestic organization and economic planning. The narrative illustrates how professionals from engineering to biological sciences influenced the development of a rational socio-economic framework from the 1920s through the Vichy regime and beyond.
