Small is Beautiful/E. F. Schumacher/25th Anniv. Edition
: "The Global Economy. The Individual. Could two concepts be more in opposition?


Twenty-five years ago, Small is Beautiful, by E. F. Schumacher, addressed this issue and introduced the world to his groundbreaking ideas. The book provides a cogent critique of the problems of Western economics and Schumacher's solutions calling for human-scale, decentralized, and appropriate technologies. His philosophy can be summed up in a phrase: economics from the heart rather than from the bottom line.


'More than a set of essays on alternative economics and international development, Small is Beautiful precisely finds the pulse of the giant engine of transnational business that is rapidly redefining the globe. Schumacher's observations were not only prescient (some of the essays were originally composed over 30 years ago) but are proving to be universal and almost timeless,' says editorial advisor David Rousseau."
