The full title of the 1940s Drucker book is “The End of Economic Man: The origins of totalitarianism”.

I studied Drucker’s management observations in college. Have great respect for his work. Not sure when the title was revised.

Drucker’s original book:

The End of Economic Man. A Study of the New Totalitarianism. New York: John Day (1939)

First edition of Peter Drucker’s treatise on the threat of fascism, his first book, reviewed and championed by Winston Churchill, who made it “required reading for the newly graduated British officer,”

Hannah Arendt’s book:

The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origins_of_Totalitarianism

Le Monde placed the book among the 100 best books of any kind of the 20th century

National Review ranked it #15 on its list of the 100 best non-fiction books of the century.

I was not aware that Drucker wrote about the danger of Fascism so early. I have not read his book, but have read extensively his thoughts on management.

Arendt is a writer who is hard to pin down with a label. Philosophic? She did not like that label.

Both were great thinkers.

Here is a list of the books Drucker wrote compiled by the Drucker Society”

It does not show his book with the subtitle.

Now, I’m wondering when it changed.
