The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.

Kirkpatrick Sale argues that while the positive accomplishments of modern science are undeniable, the failures and dangers of the mechanistic, scientific worldview are such that the only sane path, the very path of survival, is "to once again comprehend the earth as a living creature." To begin to move toward this vision of the living earth, he says, we must get in touch with and understand the natural conditions of the specific place in which we live. Sale outlines four basic determinants of any organized civilization—scale, economy, politics, and society—and demonstrates how bioregionalism is an appropriate organizational model in each area, with historical validity and a workable vision for the future.
