“I have no doubt that it is possible to give a new direction to technological development, a direction that shall lead it back to the real needs of man, and that also means: to the actual size of man. Man is small, and, therefore, small is beautiful.”-E.F. Schumacher
Schumacher wrote his manifesto in 1973. Have we since found beauty in the labor-intensive, locally-produced, and sustainable? Is it possible to scale back while moving forward? Is it essential?
