The end of Homo Econ

The End of Homo Econ is Peter Drucker's first book and also his famous work.

In 1933, a few weeks before Hitler came to power, Drucker began to write. In the spring of 1939, this book was published in the United States, and it was the first classic to explain the origins of totalitarianism.

The publication of "The End of Economic Man" created a warm response in the United States and the United Kingdom, and was also considered a shocking heresy. Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill wrote a book review for this, calling it "the only book that understands and explains the world situation between the two wars". Later, Churchill ordered that every British officer should have a copy of "The End of Economic Man" in his backpack.

As Drucker said, "This is a book about politics." Politics, economics, and society form the main thread of this book, and its theme is the rise of power rather than the rise of faith. The End of Homo Econ focuses on a particular historical event: the disintegration of European social and political structures leading to the rise of Nazism and its domination of the whole of Europe.

In Drucker's eyes, "The End of Homo Economicus" is the book most closely related to today's young people among all his works. Not only will it help them understand the catastrophe that their parents experienced, but it may also help today's generation avoid repeating that catastrophe in their lives.
