Following the events of September 11, 2001, the E. F.
Schumacher Society received requests from around the world
to reprint "Buddhist Economics," Fritz Schumacher's
classic essay widely understood as a call for an economics
of peace. In the essay Schumacher imagines a multitude
of vibrant, self-sufficient villages which, from their
secure sense of community and place, work together in
peace and cooperation.
In December of 2001 Mrs. Vreni Schumacher, who holds the
copyright to her late husband's works, kindly extended
permission to the E. F. Schumacher Society to make the
essay available electronically along with its translations.
(See the publication history of "Buddhist
Economics.") Since then Schumacher Society staff
has worked with translators and publishers to gather material
to add to this online collection.
"Buddhist Economics" is included below in its
original English version and in its multiple translations
in recognition of the universality of its vision.
Please address inquiries regarding new translations of Buddhist Economics to the Random House Group (www.randomhouse.co.uk)
