Hailed as an eco-bible by Time magazine, E.F. Schumachers riveting, richly researched statement on sustainability has become more relevant and vital with each year since its initial groundbreaking publication during the 1973 energy crisis. A landmark statement against bigger is better industrialism, Schumachers Small Is Beautiful paved the way for twenty-first century books on environmentalism and economics, like Jeffrey Sachss The End of Poverty, Paul Hawkens Natural Capitalism, Mohammad Yuniss Banker to the Poor, and Bill McKibbens Deep Economy. This timely reissue offers a crucial message for the modern world struggling to balance economic growth with the human costs of globalization.
