More From Peter Drucker

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

You don't know who the next group is that's unpopular. the bill of rights isn't for the prom queen. the bill of rights isn't for the high school quarterback. the bill of rights is for the least among us. the bill of rights is for minorities. the bill of rights is for those who have minority opinions.

Our example - and commitment - to freedom has changed the world. but along with the genius of our declaration of independence, our constitution, and our bill of rights, is the equal genius of our economic system. our founding fathers endeavored to create a moral and just society like no other in history, and out of that grew a moral and just economic system the likes of which the world had never seen. our freedom, what it means to be an american, has been defined and sustained by the liberating power of the free enterprise system.
Father Mean Commitment
Today's uncle tom doesn't wear a handkerchief on his head. this modern, twentieth-century uncle thomas now often wears a top hat. he's usually well-dressed and well-educated. he's often the personification of culture and refinement. the twentieth-century uncle thomas sometimes speaks with a yale or harvard accent. sometimes he is known as professor, doctor, judge, and reverend, even right reverend doctor. this twentieth-century uncle thomas is a professional negro -by that i mean his profession is being a negro for the white man.

A writer is dreamed and transfigured into being by spells, wishes, goldfish, silhouettes of trees, boxes of fairy tales dropped in the mud, uncles' and cousins' books, tablets and capsules and powders...and then one day you find yourself leaning here, writing on that round glass table salvaged from the park view pharmacy--writing this, an impossibility, a summary of who you came to be where you are now, and where, god knows, is that?
