With the publication of his first book, The End of Economic Man, in 1939 Peter F. Drucker established himself as a trenchant, unorthodox, and independent analyst of politics, economics and society. Most of the essays in this wide-ranging collection, written between 1972 and 1980, are concerned with changes in what Drucker calls "social ecology" - changes in population structure and dynamics; the role of and establishment of institutions; the relation between the sciences and society; and changes in fundamental theories about economics and society long considered truths.
