First edition of this seminal analysis of the rise of fascism, the first book by the renowned management theorist. Writing as a young Austrian émigré who had fled Nazism, Drucker sought to explain the psychological and social breakdown that had allowed fascism to spread across Europe. Drucker argued that modern European society had rested on "Economic Man": the belief that rational economic systems could order society and secure individual fulfilment. By the 1920s and 1930s, both capitalism and Marxist socialism had lost credibility as social creeds: capitalism had failed to deliver freedom and equality, while socialism had created new hierarchies of privilege and control. In despair, the masses lost faith in the rational economic order and turned to fascism, which offered purpose, discipline, and belonging outside of economic success. Drucker concluded that democratic society could survive only by recovering a new, non-economic ideal of "Free and Equal Man". Octavo. Original black cloth, spine lettered in yellow. With dust jacket. Unclipped jacket with very minor chipping and a couple of short closed tears at extremities: a fine copy in very good jacket.…

First edition of Drucker's first book. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Peter F. Drucker on the front free endpaper. An excellent near fine example in a very good dust jacket with some wear and tear. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare, especially signed. In this long recognized cornerstone work, Drucker explains and interprets fascism and Nazism as fundamental revolutions. It is a social and political effort to explain the subjective consequences of the social upheavals caused by warfare. This work was singled out for praise in both sides of the Atlantic, and is considered by the author to be his most prescient effort in social history. The New York Times calls it "a challenging and penetrating analytical study of the totalitarian state." Mr. Drucker is one of those writers to whom almost anything can be forgiven because he not only has a mind of his own, but has the gift of starting other minds along a stimulating line of thought" (Winston Churchill).…
