The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.
Co-founder of The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas, and pioneer in sustainable agriculture, Wes Jackson is here too a pioneer—for sustainable communities. Years of seeing the harm done to his beloved prairies through the implementation of corporate agricultural practices determined his dramatic move to the small, almost abandoned town of Matfield Green in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Instructed by the history and traditions of the people who lived there before him, Jackson has undertaken to renew the town on an ecological and sustainable basis. It is a large undertaking, and it may not be successful; however, he has only one choice and we with him: to try. His lecture is a powerful affirmation of this spirit of renewal.
