Description
Small is Beautiful: A Study of Economics as If People Mattered E F Schumacher's influential book challenges the conventional wisdom of modern economies, arguing that the relentless pursuit of profit and progress has led to gross inefficiency, environmental degradation, and inhumane working conditions. Schumacher proposes an alternative approach, based on smaller working units, communal ownership, and regional workplaces that utilize local labour and resources. In this thought-provoking study, Schumacher examines the economic structure of the Western world, revealing the consequences of specialization and the importance of considering the human impact of economic systems. His vision for a more equitable and sustainable future remains as relevant today as it was when the book was first published thirty years ago. This book offers a compelling critique of the dominant economic paradigm and presents a compelling alternative, one that prioritizes people and the environment alongside economic growth.
