In the political, the social, the economic, even the cultural sphere, the revolutions of our time have been revolutions "against" rather than revolutions "for"... On the whole throughout this period the man--or party--that stood for doing the positive has usually cut a pathetic figure; well meaning but ineffectual, civilized but unrealistic, he was suspect alike to [by both] the ultras of destruction and the ultras of preservation and restoration.

Party, Cutting, Men

Peter F. Drucker (2011). “Landmarks of Tomorrow: A Report on the New”, p.111, Transaction Publishers

Impact, Causes, Dropping

Peter Drucker (2012). “Management”, p.269, Routledge

"Higher bread prices," "lower bread prices," "unchanged bread prices" have all failed. The only hope lies in a kind of bread price which is none of these, which nobody has ever seen before, and which belies the evidence of one's reason.

Lying, Miracle, Despair
