Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
Peter Ferdinand Drucker was born in Vienna, Austria in 1909 into a family deeply engaged in intellectual pursuits and lively debate. Raised amidst the interwar period’s economic and political turbulence, he developed an acute awareness of societal structures and their vulnerabilities. After earning a doctorate in international law at the University of Frankfurt in 1931, Drucker worked as a journalist in Germany, but the rise of the Nazis prompted him to relocate to England in 1933, and later to the United States in 1937. These formative experiences shaped his lifelong fascination with authority, institutions, and the creation of what he called “a functioning society.”
