Description
Charles Handy is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management โ including Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management โ have changed the way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends โ such as Beyond Certainty โ has changed the way we view society.In The Second Curve, Handy builds on a life's work to glimpse into the future and see what challenges and opportunities lie ahead. He looks at current trends in capitalism and asks whether it is a sustainable system. He explores the dangers of a society built on credit. He challenges the myth that remorseless growth is essential. He even asks whether we should rethink our roles in life โ as students, parents, workers and voters โ and what the aims of an ideal society of the future should be.
Provocative and thoughtful as ever, he sets out the questions we all need to ask ourselves โ and points us in the direction of some of the answers. ISBN:9781847941336
