The Puritan Gift by Kenneth Hopper
Where does the Protestant work ethic come from? And how did America achieve such dominance in management for so long? This title traces the origins and the characteristics of American managerial culture which, in the course of three centuries, turned a group of small colonies into the greatest economic and political power on earth.
"'A trenchant and much needed challenge to contemporary business culture..an enjoyable and stimulating book' Mark Tully 'A challenging, well-informed and powerfully-written book...It will have a long shelf-life.' Norman Stone 'Tremendously interesting and impressive.' Peter F. Drucker, America's foremost writer about management 'I would insist that every person enrolled in the study of technology should be required to read 'The Puritan Gift' before reading any other management book...A goldmine of information.' Myron Tribus, former Director of Advanced Engineering Study, MIT.
