Most of us concentrate on ideas which, by definition, are timeless and have no history; or we work on forms and techniques which, too, are, properly speaking, outside of history. We do not, by and large, pay much attention to the institutional realization of ideas which is the subject of history. I would not want us to change for I believe that what is needed today is the awareness of the timelessness of ideas. But I think we could complement our program with little difficulty so as to provide at least a number of students with an interest in and an understanding of history."Item Memorandum to the Educational Policies Committee(1943-04-13) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005"Enclosed please find the results of the New York Times test in American history as given to my political economy classes. Because of time limits the first section of the course (freshmen and sophomores) only answered the first eleven questions; the second section answered all questions with the exception of two or three which I took out as irrelevant...It is not this result which induces me to propose to make one section of my political economy course devote itself largely to American history next year. It had been my intention to do so ever since I began to teach here this year; and, of course, I do not propose an American history course proper., but a course which, starting from the existing structure of American economics and society, works its way back to the roots. I would also like to say that in my plans this is but one of two sections with the other one devoted to a different approach. Although the experience with the New York Times test is not in any way responsible for my next year's plans, it certainly supports the argument for them."Item The Myth of the State(Bennington College, 1947-03-25) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005"The Myth of the State" was a lecture given by Peter Drucker as part of the Spring 1947 Lecture Series at Bennington College.Item The Myth-Lecture Series Listing of Speakers and Topics(1947) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005; Salvadori, Max; Campbell, Joseph; Fromm, Erich, 1900-1980Item Peter Drucker's Proposed Classes for the Year 1943-44(1943-05-01) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005POLITICAL ECONOMY - Basic Course. SPECIAL STUDIES - 1. American Political Thought 2. Social and Economic History Since the Industrial RevolutionItem Political Economy Advanced Spring Term 1943(1943-04-07) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005"As decided at the close of the last term we shall concentrate during the coming months on the nature and structure of society and government. Such a study can be started in three ways: with the basic beliefs men have been holding regarding the nature of society and the function and aims of government; with the actual problems of social life which society and government have been asked to master; and with the institutions - ranging from the family to the international gold-standard or the proposed world-court - by means of which societies have been trying to organize reality and to solve actual problems according to their beliefs and aims. We shall go the first way - if only because our time demands, above all, clear beliefs and true values. But we shall not be satisfied with the purely historical or purely philosophical study of principles and theories. We will also try to learn how to apply basic concepts, beliefs and values to concrete problems. At the same time the members of the group will be given an opportunity to do a larger piece of work on their own."Item Political Economy Freshmen-Sophomore Group 1943 Summer Term(1943-04) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005"As you will remember, our discussions of the problems of a war-economy last Fall were all plain sailing as long as we talked only about the material factors of production: labor, raw materials, and machines, and about the distribution of physical goods. We got into trouble, however, as soon as we brought Money into the discussion. And we found that all the difficulties -- both those of understanding and those of policy-making and enforcement - grow out of the fact that our economy is a money-economy. Although it became quite clear to us in the course of our talks that money is something man created to serve him as a tool it also became clear that this agent and creature of society has itself become a determinant of society. Therefore, we will work during the Summer Term on money- on the economics of money and banking; on money as a political issue in American history- one of the basic ones; on the political, social and cultural aspects of a money-economy and a money-society."Item Soren Kierkegaard: Or , How is Human Existence Possible?(1943-05-20) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005"Four weeks ago Dr. [Karl] Polanyi opened these talks by asking the question: "How is society possible?" My topic today is " How is human existence possible?" And this is at the same time the inseparable companion t o Dr. Polanyi's question and its complete antithesis."
