In his Introduction: the transformation Peter Drucker argues with historic examples: “Every few hundred years in Western history occurs a sharp transformation. We cross what in an earlier book (the New Realities, 1989) I called a ‘divide’. Within a few short decades, society rearranges itself – its world view; its basic values; its social and political structure; its arts, its key institutions. Fifty years later there is a new world. And the people born then cannot even imagine the world in which their grandparents lived and into which their own parents were born.We are currently living in such a transformation. It is creating the Post-capitalist society. This is the subject of this book.”This means that Peter Drucker writes about a transformation going on between 199X and 204X.In this review I am selecting a few topics of Drucker’s explanations with relevance for today and tomorrow. All quotes are original Drucker, where appropriate my comments are marked MC.Chapter 1 From capitalism to knowledge society …What then defeated Marx and Marxism? By 1950 a good many of us already knew that Marxism had failed both morally and economically (I had said so already in 1939 in my book The End of Economic Man). …Few figures in intellectual history have had greater impact than Taylor. And few have been so willfully misunderstood and so assiduously misquoted. In part, Taylor has suffered because history has proven him right and the intellectuals wrong. In part, Taylor is ignored because contempt for work still lingers, above all among the intellectuals. …In much larger part, however, Taylor’s reputation has suffered precisely because he applied knowledge to the study of work.
