Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered

Obavijesti me kada knjiga bude uvrštena

SUMMARY:Small Is Beautiful is Oxford-trained economist E. F. Schumacher’s classic call for the end of excessive consumption. Schumacher inspired such movements as «Buy Locally» and «Fair Trade,» while voicing strong opposition to «casino capitalism» and wasteful corporate behemoths. Named one of the Times Literary Supplement’s 100 Most Influential Books Since World War II, Small Is Beautiful presents eminently logical arguments for building our economies around the needs of communities, not corporations.

Soliloquios Literariosje citiralaprije 4 godine
Far larger is the capital provided by nature and not by man – and we do not even recognise it as such. This larger part is now being used up at an alarming rate, and that is why it is an absurd and suicidal error to believe, and act on the belief, that the problem of production has been solved.
