E. F. Schumacher was a profound and influential thinker and
economist who, at a time of unlimited economic growth, challenged
this ideology and proposed an approach to economics 'as if people
mattered'. He was one of the first to recognise the impossibility
of continuous growth in a finite world, and warned against the
world's increasing dependence on oil. He was a key figure in the
development of the environmental movement and was adamantly opposed
to what he saw as violent solutions to economic problems, arguing
against nuclear energy and advocating human-scale technology and
organic cultivation. Schumacher's particular genius was to bring
together the theoretical and the practical. He set up the
Intermediate Technology Development Group (now Practical Action) to
provide small-scale technology for developing countries, and his
people-centred approach to development has now been adopted
throughout the world. This fascinating biography traces
Schumacher's life: from his early years in Germany and his move to
England and internment during the Second World War, through to his
later years, with the publication of Small is Beautiful and the
worldwide fame that resulted. It shows how his thinking and beliefs
changed and evolved as his rigorous and questioning search for
truth caused him to reflect on the events of his life and embark on
a spiritual journey which was to change him as an economist and as
a person.
