Ernst F. Schumachers Plädoyer für eine Rückkehr zum menschlichen Maß ist ein echter Klassiker der Nachhaltigkeit – mit hoher Aktualität. Denn die Frage nach dem rechten Maß in Wirtschaft und Technologie ist heute aktueller denn je.

Größe ist kein Wert an sich: Sie kann vorteilhaft sein, muss es aber nicht. In der Ökonomie führt Größe zu Machtkonzentration, verdrängt Vielfalt und ist häufig nicht nachhaltig. Diesen Drang nach immer mehr hat Schumacher in seinem Weltbestseller bereits 1972 kritisiert. Stattdessen plädiert er für eine »Miniaturisierung der Technik« sowie dafür, »ein Maximum an Glück mit einem Minimum an Konsum zu erreichen«.

Work Description

Small Is Beautiful: A Study of Economics As If People Mattered is a collection of essays published in 1973 by German-born British economist E. F. Schumacher. The title "Small Is Beautiful" came from a principle espoused by Schumacher’s teacher Leopold Kohr (1909–1994) advancing small, appropriate technologies, policies, and polities as a superior alternative to the mainstream ethos of "bigger is better".

Overlapping environmental, social, and economic forces such as the 1973 energy crisis and popularisation of the concept of globalisation helped bring Schumacher’s Small Is Beautiful critiques of mainstream economics to a wider audience during the 1970s. In 1995 The Times Literary Supplement ranked Small Is Beautiful among the 100 most influential books published since World War II. A further edition with commentaries was published in 1999.

Excerpts

ONE OF THE MOST fateful errors of our age is the belief that "the problem of production" has been solved.
