Super Short Summary

In Small Is Beautiful, Ernst F. Schumacher argues that economics should prioritize human well-being and environmental sustainability over profit and growth. The book is divided into four sections: "The Modern World," "Resources," "The Third World," and "Organization and Ownership," each addressing issues like unsustainable economic practices, inefficient education systems, flawed aid strategies for developing countries, and the pitfalls of capitalism, advocating for smaller-scale, locally sufficient enterprises.
