杜拉克在他的40本著作中，引用/介紹過許多西方名著。不過今年是
Lewis Carrol's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland 出版150年紀念，我們要研究一下他對此書的2處說法：

Jun 3, 2011 - But Peter Drucker thought that the unemployment rate was a lousy number to zero in on. “Statistically, it is an abomination, an Alice in Wonderland stew of ... and red herrings,” Drucker complained in The Changing World of the ... by 105,000 from April, according to the government's household survey.
The latest unemployment figures? Really bad. That’s the consensus, at least.
The Labor Department reported Friday that the U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 9.1% in May, up from 9% in April, as nonfarm payrolls swelled by only 54,000 during the month on a seasonally adjusted basis. “The disappointing report provided the latest and strongest evidence of a sputtering economic recovery,” the Los Angeles Times reported.

But Peter Drucker thought that the unemployment rate was a lousy number to zero in on. “Statistically, it is an abomination, an Alice in Wonderland stew of apples, oranges, and red herrings,” Drucker complained in The Changing World of the Executive. “The official figure dominates official rhetoric and thus induces political gestures which, while futile, are likely to be expensive, inflationary and the more damaging the less actual results they produce.”
Rather than the jobless rate, the statistic that Drucker preferred to look at was total employment—that is, the aggregate number of people in the labor force with jobs. “Total employment,” he wrote, “is far more important than any unemployment figure.”
And in that regard, things may be a bit brighter than they otherwise seem: May employment increased by 105,000 from April, according to the government’s household survey.
Drucker—who, as we’ve discussed, clearly understood the misery of being without a job—noted that during the recession of the 1970s, many businesses missed the fact that total employment was growing because they paid an inordinate amount of attention to the unemployment rate.
“Actually, both the number of people employed and the percentage of people in employment went down in only three quarters of the six years 1972-78, and then only by the merest flicker,” Drucker wrote. “In terms of consumer demand and consumer buying there was, in other words, no recession at all. But a great many consumer-goods and service business, seeing only the meaningless but official unemployment figures, completely missed this and, as a result, lost sales and market standing.”
(機械翻譯) 最新的失業數字？非常糟糕的。這是共識，至少。
美國勞工部週五公佈，美國失業率攀升至9.1％，5，從9％，4月份，隨著非農就業人數月份經季節性因素調整後腫脹只有54000。 “令人失望的報告提供了一個濺射經濟復甦的最新和最有力的證據，”洛杉磯時報報導。

不過，彼得·德魯克認為，失業率是一個糟糕的數字，以零上。 “據統計，這是可憎的，一翹的蘋果，橘子，紅鯡魚的仙境燉，”德魯克抱怨在執行中不斷變化的世界。 “該負責人的身影佔主導地位的官方說辭，從而導致政治姿態其中，而徒勞的，很可能是昂貴的，通脹和更具破壞性，他們產生較少的實際效果。”
而不是失業率，是德魯克最好看統計數字是總就業人數，也就是說，人在有工作的勞動力總數。 “總就業人數，”他寫道，“是遠遠超過任何失業數字更重要。”
而在這方面，事情可能會有點亮度比，否則他們似乎：五月就業四月增加105,000，根據政府的入戶調查。
德魯克誰，因為我們討論過，清楚明白的是沒有痛苦的工作，指出，在20世紀70年代的經濟衰退，許多企業錯過了一個事實，即總就業人數的成長，因為他們支付的注意力了大量資金失業率。
“其實，人就業的數量和人的就業比例下降的只有三個季度的六年間1972年至1978年，然後只有微薄的忽悠，”德魯克寫道。 “在消費需求和消費者的購買方面出現了，換句話說，沒有任何衰退都沒有。但是許多消費品和服務業務，只看到了無意義，但官方的失業數字，完全錯過了這一點，並，結果，失去了銷售和市場地位“。

這本書只是說，那兒有人有幽默感。
不過在下一本譯本58~59頁卻這樣寫：
對於邱吉爾的好意，杜拉克用挖苦的口吻回應道：我應該覺得很受尊重了。特別是陸君部的某位軍官，很幽默地將卡洛爾的【愛麗思夢遊仙境】也給擺進書單裡。
