Peter F. Drucker

Peter Drucker died November 11. He was 95 years old.

I've never known his name, but he seemed so famous among businessperson. He wrote lots of books on company management and created many phrases common in business today.

I'm so surprised to read his personal history. I'm ashamed not to have known even only his name. He had a relationship with so many well known historical people; Sigmund Freud, Karl Polanyi, Adolf Hitler, John Keynes, Marshall McLuhan, Erich Fromm...

I have to read some of his books. "The Age of Discontinuity" looks good.
