This e-book reproduces the 2007 edition, which combines two works by Ernst Friedrich Schumacher: “Economics for Man” and “A Map for the Lost.”E. F. Schumacher, an eminent economist and philosopher who was an economic adviser to the governments of Great Britain, Burma and India for more than twenty years, summarized his vision of a humane economy built on the ideals of beauty, durability and non-violence in one of the most influential books of the second half of the 20th century, entitled “SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL.” Why did man become an appendage of production, and not production serving man? Is everything really measured by money? Is man really a selfish creature with limitless needs? Do we need high technology? Why does scientific and technological progress create more problems than solutions, while destroying nature and humans? What should we do now? - you will find answers to these and many other “indecent” questions in the book “Economics for Man.” Ernest Friedrich Schumacher combined business practicality and deep knowledge of spiritual practices. In his opinion, by brushing aside the most important questions about the meaning of life and man’s place in the Universe, modern society dooms man to a deep ideological crisis, while achieving a state of happiness becomes almost impossible. “Map for the Lost” was written to help everyone who wants to understand themselves and find answers to the questions: “What is the meaning of life?” “What is the purpose of man?” “How can I become happy?” “Why are there so many problems in the world, and how to solve them?”
