A Voice for Wisdom in an Age of FollyWed, 14 Mar 2012 01:33:57 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/58426As an economist, EF Schumacher was more interested in determining how economics could be made to serve human needs than in detailing the adventurism of rapacious financial institutions and their pursuit of big profits. His work has had a profound influence on many who seek to restore the rhythms and capacities of an earth that has been sorely damaged by industrial civilisation and its destructive technologies. In his own words: “We must thoroughly understand the problem and begin to see the possibility of evolving a new life-style, with new methods of production and new patterns of consumption: a life-style designed for permanence.” This program is largely drawn from two lectures given by Schumacher in the 1970s, one at the Lindisfarne Conference in 1974, the other at the University of Michigan in 1977.Integral ReflectionsWed, 14 Mar 2012 01:33:57 +0000
