Abstract

The human species faces an unprecedented number of problems now that we have entered the 21st century. Global warming, overpopulation, food and water shortages, pollution, economic crises, resource depletion, and various other issues make up the agenda which concerns politicians and the public they represent. Although the public's consciousness of these problems may be a more or less new phenomenon, a small contingent of economists, environmentalists, political advocates, and concerned citizens have been warning mankind about the dangers of its practices for quite some time. All one needs to do is turn to E. F. schumacher's book Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered.
