| description | "The New Realities is an incisive and challenging examination of the central issues, trends, and developments of the next decades and the questions, problems, and opportunities they present to America and the world. Full of acute and perceptive ideas about politics and economics, business and society, Drucker shows how the future began with the end of the belief in salvation by society, the disappearance of Roosevelt's America, the unraveling of the Russian Empire, and the increasing impotence of arms politically as well as militarily He analyzes the new limits and functions of government and the changing demands on political leadership; discusses the transnational economy and ecology, the paradoxes of economic development, the postbusiness society, information-based organizations, management as a social function, the shifting knowledge base; and describes a new world view of a perceptual universe. Peter Drucker has been rightly called "the founding father of the science of management" (Los Angeles Times). His management books are recognized classics. He is also renowned for his prophetic books analyzing politics, economics, and society beginning with his first book, The End of Economic Man (1939), followed by Landmarks of Tomorrow (1960), The Age of Discontinuity (1969), and culminating in The New Realities. "A foremost philosopher of American society" Kenneth Boulding said of Drucker who, in the words of Fortune is "in a class by himself.it is impossible to read the man without learning a lot." |
