The End of Economic Man: The Origins of Totalitarianism Author: [US] Peter Drucker / Peter Drucker Shanghai Translation Publishing House

"The Last Days of Economic Man" is Peter Drucker's first book and also his famous work.

Drucker began writing The Origins of Totalitarianism in 1933, a few weeks before Hitler came to power. The book was published in the United States in the spring of 1939 and is the first classic work to explain the origins of totalitarianism.

The publication of The Last Days of the Economic Man received a warm response in the United States and the United Kingdom, and was considered a shocking and heretical work. Former British Prime Minister Churchill wrote a book review for it, calling it "the only book that understands and explains the world situation between the two world wars." Later, Churchill ordered that every British officer should put a copy of The Last Days of the Economic Man in his backpack.

As Drucker said, "This is a book about politics". The main thread of this book is politics, economy and society, and its theme is the rise of power rather than the rise of faith. The Last Days of Economic Man focuses on a special historical event: the collapse of the social and political structure of Europe led to the rise of Nazism, which then dominated the whole of Europe.

In Drucker's eyes, The Last Days of Economic Man is the book that has the closest relevance to today's young people among all his works. It not only helps them understand the disaster that their parents experienced, but also perhaps helps today's generation avoid repeating that catastrophe in their lives.
