Description:
Fleas need elephants, just as elephants need fleas to keep them alert and dancing. This idea also applies to economies who need both, to business, which has to structure itself to allow fleas to co-exist with the elephants, to society, which needs to encourage individualism but needs the conformity of the elephant.
Synopsis:
Bookseller Charles Handy's best-selling new book looks at how individuals (the fleas in his analogy) relate to multi-national conglomerates (the elephants). In addition to addressing how and why we work today, he covers a wide range of preoccupations and issues including the increasing fear of big business: 'it is easy to see why many observers think that the big corporations are now both richer and more powerful than many nation states. They worry that these new corporate states are accountable to no-one - that their financial clout makes governments beholden to them ...The elephants, people feel, are out of control.'
