Book description
*Can you find the way to Davy's bar? *Do you know the Doughnut
principal? *How do you make a Chinese contract? The changes which
Charles Handy foresaw in THE AGE OF UNREASON are happening. Endless
growth can make a candyfloss economy, and capitalism must be its own
sternest critic. Handy reaches here for a philosophy beyond the
mechanics of business organisations, beyond material choices, to try and
establish an alternative universe where the work ethics can contain a
natural sense of continuity, connections and a sense of direction. We
are now a world of shareholders, but everyone has a stake in the future.
With warmth, wit and the most challenging insights, Charles Handy seeks
to turn paradox into real progress. Charles Handy is a writer and
broadcaster. His books, including The Empty Raincoat, have sold over one
million copies around the world. He was named as Business Columnist of
the Year in 1994. He has been, in his time, an oil executive, a business
economist, a Professor at the London Business School, and Chairman of
the Royal Society of Arts.
