A review, published by The Kirkus Reviews, assessing Charles Handy's book, The Age of Unreason. The review praises Handy's work, highlighting his perception that, as change no longer proceeds at a steady, manageable pace, individuals as well as organizations would be well advised to challenge conventional wisdoms regarding the economy, business, and labor. It proceeds to discuss the novel organizational forms Handy has created--federal, shamrock, and triple I (ideas, intelligence, and information)--that organizations must contend with and adapt to if they are to remain viable and current into the coming decades, and also highlights Handy's prediction that workers must adjust their traditional professional lives to that of the portfolio life. The review then underscores Handy’s argument that British society should guarantee a means of educational advancement for adults by granting three years' worth of college tuition credits that they could cash in at any time during their lives.
