“…It appears to us that the two heatedly debated questions related to the legitimacy and inevitability of hierarchy without fully coming to grips with the metaphorical nature of the concept of hierarchy. Whereas physical, biological, social, and psychological domains (Ramos, 1977: 521) can be seen as characterized by order, to conclude that such order is hierarchical in nature regardless of its &dquo;good, bad or inevitable&dquo; consequences is to move straight into the type of unidimensional thinking that Ramos warns of in his delimitation article. We strongly contend that there is far less consensus in the physical and biological [397] sciences, regardless of what many social scientists would have us believe, that the various forms of order present in physical and biological entities are of a hierarchical nature.…”

Recently in this journal, Professors Ramos ( 1976Ramos ( , 1977 and Thayer ( 1977aThayer ( , 1977b have engaged in a dialog of great importance. Both see American society as undergoing fundamental changes, changes which cannot be analyzed completely using political and social theories which are predicted upon and dominated by the market system. Each has, therefore, set forth an alternative theoretical model to help us not only understand the full significance of these changes, but also enable us to guide these changes to achieve greater social well-being with a maximum of personal freedom.A careful review of their dialog, however, indicates that the substance of each model can be traced to different sets of background assumptions.' If we are to make an intelligent choice between these alternative models, or if we are to be successful in future efforts to elaborate and implement them, it is imperative that these assumptions be identified and critically analyzed.2 Recognizing that the amount of space that can be allotted here for such an undertaking is limited, the following is an attempt to summarize the key assumptions supporting each model and to indicate the implications of their significant differences. In this manner, it is hoped that others will subsequently accept the challenge to critically analyze these and related peripheral assumptions in depth.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8034.2016v18n1p231Muito negligenciados, na recente e extensa literatura sobre Guerreiro Ramos, são os artigos que ele publicou em inglês durante seu exílio nos Estados Unidos. Argumenta-se aqui que esses artigos demonstram sua impressionante habilidade de se adaptar a possibilidades intelectuais mutantes. Nesses artigos, ele trocou o foco erudito sobre o Brasil e a América Latina por um engajamento total com a literatura americana de sociologia e, especialmente, com a de Administração Pública, ao mesmo tempo em que mantinha seu papel como um crítico criativo. Esses artigos, muitos dos quais tinham sido antecipados em seus escritos brasileiros, foram incorporados em seu livro, The New Science of Organizations (A Nova Ciência das Organizações). Com a anistia de 1978, ele retornou ao Brasil e às questões brasileiras, por isso voltou a publicar em português. Seu impacto nos Estados Unidos e fora da University of Southern California parece limitado enquanto seu redescobrimento no Brasil tornou-se dramático. Sugerem-se as possíveis razões disso.
