Ram,

yr comment deserves an independent and if need be a separate post..
but the crux of EF schumacher’s argument is this…

market economy does not sufficiently distinguish primary resources (read from nature) and secondary resources (read man made) the emphasis is more on the numbers which does not take into acount the qualititative aspects…

economics is all about efficiency, cutting costs, increasing profits etc..

but according to EF schumacer this concept has to take into acount factors like environment in which all the economic acitvity takes place…. he calls this meta-economics..

he says the economists while being good at their subject should also know the limitations of economics..

this is what i remember right now…

he also talks about concepts like buddhist economics, intermediate technology etc.. pls do read his “Small is beautiful”

probly i will write more on his in the days to come…
