Abstract
Knowledge , according to Drucker (1993, 183), is “the only meaningful resource today.”
…all earlier pluralist societies destroyed themselves because no one took care of the common good. They abounded in communities but could not sustain community, let alone create it.
—Peter F. Drucker, The New Pluralism (1999, 1)
