دانلود کتاب A Functioning Society: Selections from Sixty-Five Years of Writing on Community, Society, and Polity

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 representative writings, Drucker has chosen to be topical rather than merely chronological, with each excerpt presenting a basic theme of his work. As is characteristic of his work, A Functioning Society will attract both the general reader as well as a cross-disciplinary scholarly readership.
