Schumacher is worth reading on Buddhist economics - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_economics<br /><br />And, of course, Alex Moulton's innovative approach to bike design, which was licensed to mass market brand Raleigh at one point, follows Schumacher's doctrine of self-sufficiency.<br /><br />Also worth noting that at the time of his death Schumacher was planning a study of Islamic econonomics, a discipline that takes a radically different view of usury.<br /><br />Far more interesting than Benjamin Grosvenor's latest CD, and a post that, contrary to my expectations, has attracted a lot of readers.
