"You mean, "How can we fool 'em today?" Sounds more like Clinton to me. Or Romney. (Is Giuliani waffling or denying his previous statements? I thought he was an in-your-face liberal.)
Warren is something of a "disciple" of Joseph Schumpeter, AKA "The Father of Creative Destruction", and Peter F. Drucker, one of Schumpeter's followers.
Wow, "Post-Capitalist Society", now isn't that special.
Creative Destruction
[snips]
Society, community, family are all conserving institutions. They try to maintain stability, and to prevent, or at least to slow down, change. But the organization of the post-capitalist society of organizations is a destabilizer.

It must be organized for innovation; and innovation, as the Austro-American economist Joseph Schumpeter (1883-1950) said, is "creative destruction." It must be organized for systematic abandonment of the established, the customary, the familiar, the comfortable--whether products, services, and processes, human and social relationships, skills, or organizations themselves.Peter F. Drucker, Post-Capitalist Society,
p. 57
Everyone still feelin' all warm 'n cuddly inside 'bout that good ol' boy?
Nice tactic, I must admit. Being able to convince millions that he's "jes' fo'ks", simply by wearing a hick costume (and as a genuine hick, I resent it! :) -- now that's impressive! Particularly while Mr. Feelgood Hick is actually very much in-tune with some very insidious academic "thinkers".
The "systematic abandonment of the established, the customary, the familiar, the comfortable--whether products, services, and processes, human and social relationships, skills, or organizations themselves."
Remember those words. This is what you are seeing, in Hawaiian shirt "stealth" mode.
Such "people skills" have not been seen since the age of... Bill Clinton.

WARREN: One thing that I learned from Peter Drucker
is a concept that he got from Joseph Schumpeter. He
talked about systematic abandonment. Systematic abandonment
means you intentionally stop stuff in order to start
something new. The way Jesus would say it: You've got
to prune the branches so there's more fruit. Anybody
who has roses, and I grow roses, knows that you have
to cut the roses back or they can't grow for the next season.
You have to cut back and then they grow to the next phase.
Good post!
Food for thought.
Very important point, and if anyone forgets how easily these charlatans can fool too many people, we need to remind them at every opportunity.
Interesting! Thanks.
