A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Leopold Kohr was the originator of the concept of 'the human scale', an idea later popularised by his friend E. F. Schumacher, notably in the best-selling book Small is Beautiful. Born near Salzburg in 1909, Kohr was an economist by profession, holding academic positions at many universities, including Professor of Economics and Public Administration at the University of Puerto Rico; he also held visiting Professorships at Swansea, Cambridge, Mexico City and Salzburg. His other books include Development Without Aid, The Over-Developed Nations, Freedom From Government, and Is Wales Viable? He died in 1994.

Revue de presse :

To understand the sparky, prophetic power of Kohr's vision, you need to read The Breakdown of Nations. Some of it will create shivers of recognition... We have now reached the point that Kohr warned about.... the point where 'instead of growth serving life, life must now serve growth, perverting the very purpose of existence'. Kohr's 'crisis of bigness' is upon us.... --Paul Kingsnorth, The Guardian
