Small is Beautiful
Few books have exerted such leverage on an Age as this one. I doubt if Americans have been so influenced by printed eloquence since Thomas Paine's Common Sense helped focus our founding independence. Schumacher is fighting a similar oppression, only this time we colonized ourselves, as he reveals by sub-titling his book "Economics as if People Mattered."
The wonder of Schumacher's work is his eminent practicality, based on his years with the British Coal Board (he predicted the 1973 Energy Crisis in 1958), and his effective proposals ー most notably the re-invigoration of Intermediate Technology.
With good sense and a mature spirituality, Schumacher comes on like John Henry against the mega-machine, sure that he will win, and he is.
[Stewart Brand, The Next Whole Earth Catalog, p.40]
