Honoré de Balzac was a French author whose multi-volume collection of novels, La Comédie humaine, focused on the intersection between love and money. He mocked and criticized the bureaucratic mentality in his books,[1] through characters such as M. Poiret, the civil servant in Le Père Goriot. In fact, he wrote an entire book, Les Employes, whose title translates as The Bureaucrats.
