"To very few people, it is given to begin to change, drastically and creatively, the direction of human thought. Dr Schumacher belongs to this intensely creative minority and his death is an incalculable loss to the whole international community" 

Barbara Ward in The Times, on Schumacher's death in 1977.

This site is developed and maintained by Nicola Schumacher. My aim is to bring my father's wisdom and inspiration to a new generation of people who must grapple with the enormous environmental and social challenges of today.

These people, my generation, did not have the pleasure of knowing this wonderful man and hearing his thoughts in person but will now be able to find out more about his work through this website and through the website www.ef-schumacher.org which has been set up to celebrate, in 2011, the centenary of Schumacher's birth.
