In 'Small Is Beautiful', E.F. Schumacher presents a vigorous plea against a society obsessed with economic growth. He argues for the need to reorient economics and technology towards a human scale, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as papal encyclicals and Buddhist economics. Schumacher addresses topics such as resource use, development, business organization, nuclear energy, and unemployment, offering a vision that challenges conventional thinking and promotes sustainability. This edition from Akal, within the 'Critical Thinking' collection, offers a relevant perspective on contemporary economic and social challenges.
Ernst Friedrich Schumacher was a German-born British statistician and economist who is best known for his proposals for human-scale, decentralised and appropriate technologies. He served as Chief Economic Advisor to the British National Coal Board from 1950 to 1970, and founded the Intermediate Technology Development Group in 1966.
