F. Schumacher Society
The E. F. Schumacher Society, named after the author of
Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered, is an
educational non-profit organization founded in 1980. Our
programs demonstrate that both social and environmental
sustainability can be achieved by applying the values of
human-scale communities and respect for the natural
environment to economic issues. Building
on a rich tradition often known as decentralism, the Society
initiates practical measures that lead to community
revitalization and further the transition toward an
economically and ecologically sustainable society. The
