Schumacher posited that people must make a serious shift in what they consider to be wealth and progress.
“Even bigger machines, entailing even bigger concentrations of economic power and exerting even greater violence against the environment, do not represent progress: they are a denial of wisdom.” Real wisdom, he claimed, “can be found only inside oneself,” enabling one to “see the hollowed and fundamental unsatisfactoriness of a life devoted primarily to the pursuit of material ends”
