Panic on the New York Stock Exchange

I am thrilled to be a contributor for the Drucker Archive, a Claremont Graduate University initiative that hosts a website with the writings and papers of Peter F. Drucker. Harvard Business School calls it “a must for business historians and researchers.”

The pandemic made it very challenging to find 'Panic on the New York Stock Exchange,’ Drucker’s 1929 article published on the day of the Great Wall Street Crash. I spent several days translating it from his Altdeutsch to English. The inventor of management lived through the Great Depression and the tumultuous time of the Weimar Republic. Drucker wrote this remarkable piece in his early twenties, a journalism relevant for students, young professionals, and managers today. It is a harbinger of the discipline of thought and literary skill that would make him one of the greatest thinkers of our time.
