Peter Drucker may be best known as a writer on business and management, but, in fact, these subjects are neither his first nor have they been his foremost intellectual concern. Drucker's primary concern has been community, in which the individual has status, and society, in which the individual has function. He has brought together selections from his vast writings on these subjects in A Functioning Society. This collection presents the full range of Drucker's thought on community, society, and the political structure, and constitutes an ideal introduction to his ideas. In organizing these...

Even in the flattest landscape there are passes where the road first climbs to a peak and then descends into a new valley. Most of these passes are simply topography with little or no difference in climate, language, or culture between the valleys on either side. But some passes are different: they are true divides. History too knows such divides. Once these divides have been crossed, the social and political landscape changes; the social and political climate is different, and so is the social and political language. Some time between 1965 and 1973 we passed over such a divide and entered...

We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: with ambition, drive, and talent, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession regardless of where you started out. But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren't managing their knowledge workers careers. Instead, you must be your own chief executive officer. That means it's up to you to carve out your place in the world and know when to change course. And it's up to you to keep yourself engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years. In Managing Oneself, Peter Drucker explains how to do it....
