Schumacher lectures
E.F. Schumacher was a visionary, years ahead of his time. Most famously known for his book Small is beautiful, a study of economics as if people mattered, he is credited with being a father figure of the environmental movement. His thinking has influenced a whole generation of visionaries in ecological, social and economic sustainability.
The society set up posthumously in his honour was the Schumacher Society, which runs the annual Schumacher lectures. This year’s lectures in Bristol marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Fritz Schmacher and the title of the one day event is “LESS IS MORE: Can we Really Live Better by Consuming Less?”
The line up of speakers is first class, including Satish Kumar, Jonathon Porritt, Bill McKibben, Andrew Simms, Rob Hopkins and Ann Pettifor. It takes a slightly different form to before, with more workshop sessions than simply plenary sessions.
