Schumacher Society

Schumacher UK "is named after economist and philosopher Dr. E.F. Schumacher, author of 'Small is Beautiful', 'The Guide for the Perplexed', 'Good Work' and 'This I Believe'. Schumacher is widely acknowledged as the originator of many concepts on the theory and practice of sustainable development...

"Schumacher UK is above all else engaged in educational work. Tangible expressions of this are the Schumacher Lectures, Schumacher Briefings, the Schumacher Book Service, Resurgence Magazine, Green Books Publishing House and Schumacher College." For other Schumacher-inspired organisations see the Schumacher Circle.

In 2005 the Society founded the Schumacher Institute for Sustainable Systems.
