Peter Drucker writes to Carolina Biquard to congratulate her on her recent achievements and to offer her advice on how to handle the growth and success of Fundacion Compromiso. However, he begins the letter by discussing her husband's new book and how, "the belief that Argentina was a rich country became a dangerous delusion after World War I." From there he goes on to advise Carolina that she must now learn to stand back and think about two important decisions: the direction of Compromiso and her role and priorities. He warns her against going too far to fast and attempting to balance too many things at once. Instead he suggests that she focus on the successes she has already achieved and begin to delegate her management responsibilities to others. He ends the letter with an update on his own work. He tells her he has recently finished a survey entitled, "The Next Society" which will be published in the "London Economist." The last line of the letter is typed on the left hand side of the correspondence and is somewhat illegible.
