As social theorist Drucker pointed out, the nations and peoples of the West and much of the rest of the developed and developing worlds are living through transformation today. The tremendous shift from an industrial to a knowledge economy and society is recasting the character of human life the world over, generating profound new challenges even as it opens up unprecedented vistas of possibility. This "age of social transformation" to the knowledge era, Drucker wrote, "will not come to an end with the year 2000 it will not even have peaked by then". This text is an attempt to understand the transition that is now shaking the foundations of human society. At once a vision of the future and a handbook for understanding daily events, this book could change the way you see the world and your place in it.;MARKET 1> Departments of economics; politics; sociology
