The Age of Discontinuity by Peter
Drucker
"Its themes are the continental drifts that form new continents, rather than the wars
that form new national boundaries."
- rapid emergence of new technologies, and new industries based on them
-
emergence of a genuine world economy
- emergence of a new pluralism of institutions that obsoletes traditional theories
of government (?Washington's warning about the dangers of the two-party system, Lincoln's second inaugural warning
about abusive use of ideology , and Eisenhower's warning about the military/industrial complex?)
- the emergence
of knowledge as the new capital and as the central resource of an economy
