  • "Summary: Until the age of 45, E.F. Schumacher was dedicated to the principles of industrial development and economic growth. Then he came to believe that modern technology had grown out of all proportion to man's needs an subsequently set out his views in a book he called "Small is beautiful: a study of economics as if people mattered". He also became a founder of the London-based Intermediate Technology Development Group, which champions the cause of an appropriate technology as opposed to the prevalent technological violence to human beings and the environment. This film, shot a few months before Schumacher's death in 1977, takes a look at the man and his ideas and illustrates some of his concepts."
