Charles Handy article explaining the connection between wealth and intelligence. Handy explains how, with the end of capitalism's ideological war against totalitarian communism, wealth is increasing at the top of society while poverty is growing at the bottom. Handy's solution to this continuing unbalanced growth is intelligence, arguing that intellectual property is the most potent element in today's society. He proceeds to emphasize that intellectual assets require renewal and rejuvenation to remain accessible and viable, so managing intelligence should be the new welcomed challenge for organizations. Moreover, in order to create intellectual property, education in all forms and stages should become the essential ingredient of a property-owning democracy. Handy concludes the article ultimately stressing that a purpose beyond one's self is necessary for capitalist striving.
