John W Gardner, "Self-renewal: the Individual and the Innovative Society"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1015320082 | EPUB | pages: 164 | 0.6 mb
In his classic treatise Self-Renewal, John W. Gardner examines why great societies thrive and die. He argues that it is dynamism, not decay, that is dramatically altering the landscape of American society. The twentieth century has brought about change more rapidly than any previous era, and with that came advancements, challenges, and often destruction. Gardner cautions that "a society must court the kinds of change that will enrich and strengthen it, rather than the kind of change that will fragment and destroy it."
