Small is Beautiful

"Small is Beautiful is a wonderful statement which will hopefully be followed by more from Schumacher, as well as from others who find that his departure into 'economics as if people mattered' makes the kind of common sense that could help the survival of life on earth become at least a decent possibility." -Liberation

"I had never heard of E. F. Schumacher before reading this book. After reading it I am ready to nominate him for the Nobel Prize in economics .... Schumacher [is] an eminently practical, sensible and eloquent chap, versant in the subtleties of large-scale business management, yet equally in touch with the down-to-earth realities of a simple Indian village. His book is a most unusual economic treatise, enormously broad in scope, pithily weaving together threads from Galbraith and Gandhi, capitalism and Buddhism, science and psychology." -The New Republic
