E. F. Schumacher: He Taught Us To Build Bridges and Plant Trees

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

Using the examples of the Intervale Foundation and Gardener's Supply, both of which Will Raap founded, he demostrates that economic gain can be linked to social and environmental gain. A business can flourish by enhancing the environment and supporting community while still generating a profit. Raap recounts the encouraging story of the Intervale in Burlington, Vermont. Once a dumping ground, the Intervale has been rejuvenated as an incubator for beginning organic farmers, providing a model for putting marginalized land into productive use to benefit the surrounding community.
