E. F. Schumacher was an influential English economist and author of the groundbreaking work Small is Beautiful. Schumacher's philosophy emphasized sustainability, human-scale economies, and the need for an economic system that prioritizes well-being over mere growth. His ideas about appropriate technology and environmental responsibility have inspired a global movement toward more sustainable living. Schumacher's work continues to challenge conventional economic thinking, urging individuals and societies to consider the long-term consequences of their actions and to strive for balance between human progress and environmental preservation.
"Infinite growth of material consumption in a finite world is an impossibility."
"It might be said that it is the ideal of the employer to have production without employees and the ideal of the employee is to have income without work."
"The system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing. Not so with technology."
