Synopsis

THE ALTERNATIVES MOVEMENT HAS ARRIVED. SMALL IMPOSSIBLE CAN BE SAID TO MARK ITS ARRIVAL.'
The ballast of the wealth of nations has shifted since the late E.F. Schumacher first claimed that small is beautiful, stressing the worldwide human and financial need for 'economics as if people mattered'. The oil crisis predicted by Schumacher has sliced into Western industrial investment. At home and abroad business corporations whose gigantic bulk was mistaken for muscle have staggered to the wall, dinosaur victims of economic evolution. Now more than ever we need to realise the potential of alternative technology and invest in a different tomorrow. In SMALL IS POSSIBLE Schumacher's friend and collaborator George McRobie gives an optimistic progress report from the front line and proves that there is an.alternative future for all of us.
'An invaluable contribution to clarifying Schumacher's intentions.' New Society
'It must now be conceded that many of the critics who derided Schumacher's ideas were wrong. Small-scale enterprise is not only desirable in certain contexts, it is also feasible.' The Listener
'McRobie has written a useful hook. He has given us the nuts and bolts of the situation.' New Scientist
'This is a book to be used. It is a tool for progress.' *The Guardian
