People or Personnel is a critique of centralized power written by Paul Goodman and published by Random House in 1965.

[5] This edition also includes three public memoranda as appendices: to the Poverty Program, the Office of Education, and the Ford Foundation.

[6] Sections of the book were later reprinted in Frank Tannenbaum's A Community of Scholars: The University Seminars at Columbia (1965), Ronald Gross and Paul Osterman's Individualism: Man in Modern Society (1971), and Liberation magazine.

[7] The book's first chapter, originally published as "On Some Prima Facie Objections to Decentralism" (Liberation, 1964), was condensed and reprinted in the 1966 edited volume Patterns of Anarchy.

[4] Vintage Books published a dual paperback edition in February 1968 combining People or Personnel with Like a Conquered Province, adding additional republished essays for the latter's appendices.
