A controversial study, first published in 1973, of the economic structure of the western world. Schumacher maintains that man's current pursuit of profit and progress has resulted in gross economic inefficiency, environmental pollution and inhumane working conditions.
Years after his death, E.F. Schumacher's ideas still resonate through the environmental movement. Rejecting materialism and economic exploitation, he saw the need to give societies, communities and individuals practical tools for change. This book contains his articles for Resurgence magazine.
