In The New Society, Peter Drucker extended his previous works
The Future of Industrial Man and The Concept of the Corporation
into a systematic, organized analysis of the industrial society
that emerged out of World War II. He analyzes large business
enterprises, governments, labor unions, and the place of the
individual within the social context of these institutions.
Although written when the industrial society he describes was at
its peak of productivity, Drucker's basic conceptual frame has well
stood the test of time.
Following publication of the first printing of The New Society,
George G. Higgins wrote in Commonweal that "Drucker has analyzed,
as brilliantly as any modem writer, the problems of industrial
relations in the individual company or 'enterprise.' He is
thoroughly at home in economics, political science, industrial
psychology, and industrial sociology, and has succeeded admirably
in harmonizing the findings of all four disciplines and applying
them meaningfully to the practical problems of the 'enterprise.'"
This well expresses contemporary critical opinion.
Peter Drucker's new introduction places The New Society in a
contemporary perspective and affirms its continual relevance to
industry in the mid-1990s. Economists, political scientists,
psychologists, and professionals in management and industry will
find this seminal work a useful tool for understanding industry and
society at large.
