The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.
Donald Anderson highlights the necessity in the fight against poverty to first and foremost organize communities and let them decide their courses of action for themselves rather than designing and imposing programs from outside of the community. He puts forth the Assembly as an organizational concept suited to this purpose. The Assembly is rooted in Thomas Jefferson's vision of wards acting as small, engaged republics.
