Red flags: Author has already claimed to be "bold" by the third word of the abstract. Author includes an abstract on a two page self-published paper where they further propose their own name to decorate a newly discovered economic "law". Author uses phrases "statistically significant" and "empirical proof" without betraying any familiarity with their normal meaning in formal prose.
And, most importantly, author apparently believes that the observation that efficiencies introduced by new processes are invariably erased by increases in associated bureaucracy was novel and useful in 2008. People have been complaining about that since at least the Roman Republic.
