The Liberal Environmentalist Nobody Knew Was Catholic

Few realized when Small is Beautiful was published that E.F. Schumacher’s economic theories were underpinned by solid religious and philosophical foundations, the fruits of a lifetime of searching. In 1971, two years before the book’s publication, Schumacher had become a Roman Catholic, the final destination of his philosophical journey.

Good article. Thanks.

I must say I'm pretty annoyed at Joseph Pearce or whoever it was that titled this article. (Somtimes its the copy editor that does that.) E.F. Schumacher was not a "liberal environmentalist," and disguising this good article with such a stupid title undermines Schumacher and what he stood for.

OK.

Having said that, it's a worthwhile subject to 'm with Schumacher every time.
