Description

A humane blueprint for prosperity that serves people and planet.

First 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.
