It was first published in 1973, but it was written for our time." -- Bill McKibben, from the Foreword</strong></p><p><em>Small Is Beautiful</em> is Oxford-trained economist E. F. Schumacher's classic call for the end of excessive consumption. Schumacher inspired such movements as "Buy Locally" and "Fair Trade," while voicing strong opposition to "casino capitalism" and wasteful corporate behemoths.
