About The Book

The Hungry Spirit by Charles Handy tackles the stark contradictions in the global economy. On one hand, a third of the global workforce remains unemployed, while on the other, two-thirds of the world's trade is concentrated among just 500 companies. These companies are answerable to their shareholders, adding complexity to the situation.

In the face of this uncertainty, Handy calls for a shift in our culture and values, urging for a future that is more stable and secure. The book presents a thought-provoking initiative, grounded in the author's authentic reflections.

Handy uses a unique approach, eschewing lectures for captivating stories that bring his ideas to life. His intellectual thought process is evident on every page, offering a refreshing perspective on the dilemmas faced by modern businesses, industries, and societies. With optimism at its core, the book fosters debate and encourages readers to challenge the status quo, all while revealing insights into capitalism, management, and social issues.

Handy, with his profound understanding of modern management, provides a compelling and intelligent presentation of the problems that plague contemporary systems. The Hungry Spirit is not only a critical exploration of global issues but also a call for a moral and thoughtful reexamination of how we navigate our professional and personal lives in an ever-changing world.
