  “One of the truly serious thinkers the management consulting industry can point to with justifiable pride. Even though Drucker passed away November 11, 2005, at age 95, it does not mark the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning, since he has left such a rich legacy. It is too bad the Nobel Prize is not given posthumously, since he certainly deserved one. Along with the economics profession, Drucker alone is responsible for introducing--and being among the first to recognize--the knowledge worker and economy, to the business world.
  
  Since I have read nearly 20 books by, or on, Drucker, I can easily say they are all 5 stars. I recommend anything and everything by Drucker, period.
  
  So, what I'm going to do is tag those that are my favorite with the "bbb" tag--these are the essential books by or on Drucker you must read, as they are among the best business books.
  
  Therefore, I will not review each book, but only comment on a special aspect of his books when appropriate.
  
  Again, read anything and everything by Drucker! I'm convinced it's more valuable than an MBA education, since Drucker dealt with almost all business issues long before anyone else.
  
  This particular book is excellent on knowledge workers.”
