FUNCTIONING SOCIETY: SELECTIONS FROM SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OF WRITING ON COMMUNITY, SOCIETY AND POLITY

Representing the full range of Drucker's thoughts on society, community, and political structure, this collection of essays selected by the influential writer from his own vast works provides an introduction to his ideas for a general audience and for scholars of social science. Drucker, a professor of social science at California's Claremont Graduate School since 1971, arranges his essays by topic with each representing a basic theme from his work. Topics include the rise of totalitarianism, the new pluralism, the corporation as a social institution, and the knowledge society. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
