• Jill Lepore: Scientific management started as a way to work. How did it become a way of life? – I knew Taylorism was short-sighted but I didn't know it was cruel and a scam. And how efficiency and scientific management became home economics. And the story of the Gilbreths (the Cheaper by the Dozen family). And Brandeis. Lots of great stuff in this piece.
