F. Schumacher aSmall Is Beautiful: A Study of Economics as if People Mattered aLondonbVintage c2011 a259p. aFirst published in 1973, E. F. Schumacher’s Small Is Beautiful remains a foundational text of sustainable economics and environmental thought. Rejecting the idea that “bigger is better”, Schumacher argues for economies based on community, craftsmanship and ecological balance. Decades later, its message - that progress should serve people, not profits - is more urgent than ever. Combining wisdom, practicality and visionary foresight, Small Is Beautiful continues to inspire new generations of environmentalists, policymakers and ethical business leaders seeking to build a fairer world.
