Never mind the millennium. What about the next 24 hours?

Plot

"With the arrival of the new millennium, many futurists will be concentrating on predictions for the next thousand years. Clem Sunter is more concerned with the here and now and the dramatic changes that are taking place in the nature of work, jobs and employment. Through a prism provided by the famous British philosopher Isaiah Berlin, who taught the world about the difference between hedgehogs and foxes, Sunter asks us to re-perceive the importance of small, medium and microenterprise. His thesis is that, in the last forty years, we have moved from the Age of Hedgehogs when big answers might have been appropriate for job creation to the Age of Foxes where the solution lies with the fostering of a new generation of entrepreneurs (foxes). He sets the conditions for a foxy society and then the key attributes of business foxes who make money and social foxes who make a difference in other people's lives. This book is based on a presentation that has attracted a popular response form audiences in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe."--Back cover.
