While one-third of the world's workforce has no paid work, more than two-thirds of world trade is managed by just 500 corporations - answerable to no one but their investors. Against this picture of division and uncertainty, Charles Handy argues passionately for a future with values more sustaining and enriching than those of free market capitalism.

The Hungry Spirit is an inspiring book - sometimes provocative, always intensely personal, and ultimately full of hope. It is certain to spark controversy and debate wherever it is read.

"Charles Handy has done it again: The Hungry Spirit is the distillation of a lifetime's experience, a personal recipe for what we have to do to survive in a capitalist society. Handy's anecdotal style is highly readable, his erudition evident on every page... This is an important book." PEOPLE MANAGEMENT
