Description

The summation of a life’s work, during which Handy considers what the future holds for society.
     Britain’s leading guru looks to the future.

     Charles Handy is likely one of the giants of latest thought. His books on management — including Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management — have changed the best way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends — such as Beyond Certainty — has changed the best 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 this is a sustainable system. He explores the dangers of a society built on credit. He challenges the myth that remorseless growth is very important. He even asks whether we will have to rethink our roles in life — as students, parents, workers and voters — and what the aims of a super society of the future will have to be. 
     Provocative and thoughtful as ever, he sets out the questions we all wish to ask ourselves — and points us in the direction of probably the most answers.
