So much so that Yale University Press published What’s Wrong with Economics?, a book by Lord Robert Skidelsky.

The first joint-stock company in the world was the Dutch East India Company, which began in 1602. Human-scale, decentralized and appropriate technologies advocated by Schumacher are most relevant at a time of climate crisis as are his ideas about Buddhist economics.
