I've only just started looking at this man's ideas, bu they sound fascinating and inspiring. David mentions Schumacher in It Doesn't Have to Be Like This and The Robots' Rebllion.

The E.F. Schumacher Society's Jake Sterling tells of how the revolutionary teachings of the forward-thinking Schumacher, author of Small Is Beautiful, are being carried out around the world today

Bit of Video I found

I remember reading this guy when I was younger

Ernst Friedrich Schumacher was born in Germany in 1911. A Rhodes scholar at Oxford in the 1930's, he fled back to England before the Second World War to avoid living under Nazism. Although he was interned as an enemy alien during the War, his extraordinary abilities were recognised, and he was able to help the British government with its economic and financial mobilisation.



This bit of his Bio should make researchers spit out their tea, becuase of course "Rhodes Scholar" is one of those big Red Flags, and perhaps his "Buddhist economics" were just part of a global serfdom system, but then an interesting man who held great principles

Another one of those paradox's!

That's an interesting bit of info. Thanks, John.:)

I'll have to get Small is Beautiful. His work has influenced the Green Party and David mentions him in It doesn't have to be like this. It could be like the rest of the Green Party: nice ideas, but very naive.
