Managing America in a Post Capitalist Society “What is an Educated Person in the Society of Knowledges's”
People do not live for the sake of economy, but the economy exists on behalf of and for the people.
Socialism……. Not really.
This book is a series of interviews, which encapsulate the views of Peter Ferdinand Drucker, about the Post Capitalist Society, views of Dr. Mose Maimonides, Dr. Elie Metchnikoff, and Hippocrates about Diet - Disharmony and Our Health, Thomas Jefferson and Dr. Maria Montessori views about education, and what constitutes an educated person in the society of knowledge’s as a change in the human condition.
The Post Capitalist Society is an economic system has not been stipulated by government, unions or business, but is the result of human choices and self-empowerment, for an economy of private profit and self-enrichment, based on a local financially and environmentally sound economy. If we continue to believe that the financial goals of the modern industrial system and the governmental policies that serve these goals are coordinate with all of life, then all of our lives will be in the service of these goals.
We will be the mentally indentured servants of the industrial and political financial system.
So, at the very least we have to change our basic attitudes, values, and beliefs.
The emerging Post Capitalist Society, the one based on knowledge and knowledge workers, is the first society in which ordinary people, and that means most people, do not earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow.
It is the first society in which “honest work” does not mean a callused hand. It is also the first society in which not everybody does the same work, as was the case when the huge majority of workers were farmers or machine operators, thus displaced industrial workers cannot simply move into knowledge work or services the way displaced farmers and domestic workers moved into industrial work, this is far more than a social change.
The building of formal and informal knowledge is the practice of freedom which enables men and women to participate in the transformation of their world rather than just living in it. Only an educated people can be expected to make the type of choices which assert their freedoms and reinforce their sense of social responsibility.
The one thing we can be sure of is that America will emerge from the present political concepts, financial systems, values, social and economic structures, with a different political, economic and social structure that no one could not have imagined today.
