Description for Teachers/Educators Ranked by The Times Literary Supplement as among the 100 most influential books published after World War II, Small Is Beautiful has become a classic of common-sense economics. At the heart of his analysis, E. F. Schumacher faults conventional economic thinking for failing to consider the most appropriate scale for an activity, blasts notions that "growth is good," and that "bigger is better," and questions the appropriateness of using mass production in developing countries, promoting instead "production by the masses." "Enormously broad in scope, pithily weaving together threads from Galbraith and Gandhi, capitalism and Buddhism, science and psychology."--The New Republic Details ISBN0061997765 Author E.F.
