During Peter Drucker’s lecture regarding knowledge and knowledge workers he begins by discussing how the 20th century will be remembered not for its developments in technology but rather for the introduction of knowledge workers. He then explains how the development of knowledge workers has led to new demands on the education system, which is not structured to train and produce these workers in the quantity and quality necessary. Drucker goes on to discuss a culture of capital and uses the example of painters in Paris in the early 1900s. Later during the lecture he discusses social mobility and occupational mobility, and how the ease of upward mobility has changed over the course of history, particularly with the introduction of knowledge workers.
