The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.
A leading physicist and humanist, Arthur Zajonc focuses on the relationship between technology and work on one hand and right values and livelihood on the other. He shows how traditions and culture once provided a right moral context for work, but now that context has been broken apart by the dramatically increasing capacity of amoral technology to replace human work. Citing fascinating examples from literature and mythology, Taoism, and Studs Terkel, Zajonc makes a powerful case for the restoration of the links between technology, love, and beauty that must be re-established if we are to be fully human.
