It creates new social dynamics. It creates new politics.' ..in a couple of paragraphs, he makes more sense of macro-economic policy than most life-time specialists. Financial Times '..his boldest book...the range is breathtaking' The Independent '...Drucker, the most enduring management thinker of our time.' Business Week
