A HANDCAR AND A FRIEGHT TRAIN by Peter F. Drucker

“In guerilla country a handcar, light and expendable, rides ahead of the big, lumbering freight train to detonate whatever explosives might have been placed on the track. This book is such a ‘handcar.’

For the future is, of course, always ‘guerilla country,’ in which the unsuspected and apparently insignificant derail the massive and seemingly invincible trends of today.

Or, to change the metaphor, this book may be looked at as an ‘early-warning system,’ reporting discontinuities which, while still below the visible horizon, are already changing structure and meaning of economy, polity, and society. . . .

These discontinuities are, so to speak, our ‘recent future’—both already accomplished fact and challenges to come.”
