This book describes the origins and character of the global
Appropriate Technology movement, identifying its three major
components - the environmental, the social and the economic. The
author discusses appropriate technologies in the bread, brick,
cement and sugar industries in Africa and Asia. The reasons for the
increasing attractiveness of small-scale production in the
industrially advanced countries are described, and the author aims
to show how this approach can open the way to more human-centred
patterns of development throughout the globe. The final chapters
discuss the limited role played by markets in the development and
diffusion of these appropriate technologies, and consider both the
nature of suitable governmental policies and assess the likelihood
of their emergence.
