THE SECOND CURVE: THOUGHTS ON REINVENTING SOCIETY
Book ID/图书代码： 06495014B74590
English Summary/英文概要： Charles Handy is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management – including Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management – have changed the way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends – such as Beyond Certainty – has changed the 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 it is a sustainable system. He explores the dangers of a society built on credit. He challenges the myth that remorseless growth is essential. He even asks whether we should rethink our roles in life – as students, parents, workers and voters – and what the aims of an ideal society of the future should be.
Provocative and thoughtful as ever, he sets out the questions we all need to ask ourselves – and points us in the direction of some of the answers.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 英国领先的商业大师展望未来。
查尔斯??汉迪是当代思想的巨人之一。他的管理类书籍 - 包括《了解组织》和《管理之神》 - 已经改变了我们看待商业的方式。他研究更广泛的问题和趋势—比如超越确定性—这些已经改变了我们看待社会的方式。
在《二次曲线》中，汉迪将展望未来作为终身事业，展望未来的挑战和机遇。和之前的作品一样，本书具有煽动性且内容深刻，他关注目前资本主义的趋势，发掘基于信用的社会的危险和对无情增长必要性神话的挑战。
汉迪在本书中提出了我们都需要问自己的问题，如：资本主义是一个可持续发展的体系吗？;我们应该反思我们为进入职场做准备的方式吗？我们理想的未来世界应该是怎么样的呢？--他还指出了一些答案的回答方向。（YYW）
