A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

In his new book The Age of Discontinuity (Harper & Row. 1969), my friend Peter Drucker presents a magnificent inventory of problems in current decision-making. He hasn´t a clue as to why these problems have arisen but he cries out for a new theory of organization. He indicates that every organization in the world, whether in the home or the school, the business or the political or the religious, has broken down today regardless of ideology or geography.
