C. Northcote Parkinson's "Parkinson's Law Or The Pursuit Of Progress" is a satirical non-fiction work that humorously dissects the inefficiencies and absurdities of modern organizations and bureaucracies. This classic text introduces the famous "Parkinson's Law," which posits that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion."

The book offers a timeless critique of organizational behavior, presenting its arguments with sharp wit and a keen understanding of human nature within institutional settings.
