Humanity started small. Where did we get the idea big is better?
The establishment promote big business, big government or big
culture, more often than not, all three. In Small is Powerful Adam
Lent reveals how our faith in big was manufactured in the 1900s -
by a group of powerful business leaders, politicians and thinkers
-and gripped the collective imagination throughout the twentieth
century. But the notion that vast concentrations of power should
reside in the state, in corporations, or the church has failed to
create a stable, fairer world. In Small is Powerful, Lent
challenges this failure of imagination and asks us to consider a
world where ownership, power and resources are dispersed on a
smaller scale, in way that is better for everyone. He explores the
roots of the 'small revolution' in the 1970s, and demonstrates how,
contrary to received wisdom, this movement is intensifying today.
Millions are setting up their own small businesses; political and
social change is increasingly delivered by grassroots initiatives;
and people are making their own decisions about how to live their
lives. Small is Powerful delivers an informed and impassioned plea
to stand up and fight for the fairer, wealthier and more stable
world we want. It is an impassioned plea for 'smallists' everywhere
to stand up and be counted.
