meeting place for intellectuals, high government officials and scientists; the economists

Schumpeter, Mises and Hayek were also regular guests and these intellectuals, high government

After graduating from Döbling Gymnasium, Drucker found few opportunities for employment in

free-lance writer and business consultant.

In 1943, Drucker became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He then had a distinguished

career as a teacher, first as a professor of politics and philosophy at Bennington College from

1942 – 1949, then for more than twenty years at New York University as a Professor of 

Management from 1950 to 1971.
