Reason in Human Affairs - Herbert A Simon

Scholarly overview on Simon's study of the limits of human reason in practice (e.g. politics and management) dated 1983.

In our society, we have an unfortunate habit of labeling our political institutions in two different ways. On the days when we are happy with them, we call them democracy; on the days when we are unhappy with them, we call them politics. We don't choose to recognize that "politics" used in that pejorative way is simply a label for some of the characteristics of our democratic political institutions that we happen not to fancy. 
[p. 99]
