Schumacher, at a time of unlimited economic growth, challenged this ideology and proposed an approach that recognized the impossibility of continuous growth in a finite world, and warned against the world's increasing dependence on oil.

Schumacher's particular genius was to bring together the theoretical and the practical. He set up the Intermediate Technology Development Group now Practical Action to provide small-scale technology for developing countries, and his people-centered approach to development has now been adopted throughout the world.
