The Hungry Spirit by Charles Handy

The Hungry Spirit by Charles Handy

With his characteristically very personal anecdotal style, Charles Handy analyses how materialistic capitalism is self-limiting, how efficiency may be the enemy of a cohesive society, and examines the false certainties of science and religion. Offering a carefully considered and compelling alternative vision, the book challenges the status quo on everything from capitalism and organization to goal-setting and morality. With nods to Kant, Keynes, Sartre and Drucker, The Hungry Spirit is not your usual business tome, but that, of course, is part of Handy's plan.

The Hungry Spirit is the distillation of a lifetime’s experience, a personal recipe for what we have to do to survive in a capitalist society* People Management *
The Hungry Spirit is a wide-ranging examination of business and social problems … shrewd, scholarly, thoughtful analysis. * Modern Management *
Charles Handy is Britain’s only world-class management guru. * Director *
