Régulation theory Book

Drucker wrote this in 1993 and pointed out that the means of production had already shifted from capital to knowledge and that knowledge was owned by the worker, not the capitalist. He went on to desribe the impac of this transition on society and ultimately raised the question, still to be answered, of what is a well-educated person in this new world. While the forces pushing education for strictly vocational purposes will always be with us, Drucker recognizes there is a much larger question. Everyone needs to know they are making a contribution to the world around them, but that contribution is rarely satisfied merely by work, which changes dramatically over the course of a lifetime. Education must help the individual to know their own calling while also preparing them for the changes they will see in the world. Drucker was one of our greatest thinkers and I recommend this book to anyone who hasn't yet read it as a challenging look at our world, still relevant because Drucker sees and writes with clarity and has raised questions that still need serious consideration.
