With prophetic wisdom and uncanny insight, he has foreseen how major changes will affect the way we live and work -- and with candor and wit he has helped us make sense of it all. Now, as the pace and scale of change reach dizzying proportions, four of Handy's most acclaimed works will be republished in new editions. The Elephant and the Flea, is both a poignant memoir of Handy's extraordinary life and an examination of the dramatic workplace shift from corporate behemoths to free agency. Together, these eloquent works define the thinking of one of our most astute critics of modern capitalism -- and offer a hopeful window on the kind of world we can yet create. |
