This collection of Peter F. Drucker''s essays explores the
intersection between society, politics, and economics. Despite this
lofty goal, however, the essays themselves remain down to earth,
highly readable, and full of stories and ideas that make us think
differently about the business world around us.
The majority of these essays were written in the 1960s, and in
them Drucker specifically examines that turbulent decade, yielding
conclusions that are as timeless as they are fresh. He places the
merger mania of the decade in the context of business history of
the twentieth century, and arrives at fundamental questions about
mass market economies. He questions the personal and political
values of 1960s adolescents, and ends up relating them to the
concurrent rise of big complex modern institutions. He examines
with equal vigor Japan''s management successes, the role of politics
and economics in American identity, and the "real" Kirkegaard.
