Schumacher Society USA

The E. F. Schumacher Society has a significant impact for an organization its size. Part of the reason for its broad influence is the combination of rich content and practical action developed over its twenty-eight years.

Fritz Schumacher's ideas about appropriate scale and the importance of producing locally for local consumption seemed contrarian when he presented them forty years ago, but are now proving a solid basis for a new economics that is accountable to people, land, and community.

The renowned E. F. Schumacher lecture series draws speakers who are providing innovative solutions for building just and sustainable economies.

You can watch videos of recent {Berk Shares}? local currency press coverage from ABC, CBS, BBC, French TV, and Russian TV; 1991 footage of the Deli Dollars and Berkshire Farm Preserve Notes programs, which helped launch the current interest in local currencies; and, most exciting for us, 1977 video footage of Fritz Schumacher, converted from old umatic tapes stewarded at the E. F. Schumacher Library at:
