Is this the same Frederick Taylor whom Gatto describes thusly:

<<Men like these, and the brilliant efficiency expert Frederick W.
Taylor, who inspired the entire "social efficiency" movement of the
early twentieth century, along with providing the new Soviet Union its
operating philosophy and doing the same job for Fascist Italy and Nazi
Germany; men who dreamed bigger dreams than any had dreamed since
Napoleon or Charlemagne, these were the makers of modern schooling.>>
