There are two general types of Economic study. Nations and states are the concern of Macro-economics. Individual people are the concern of Micro-economics. This book is the best, most straight-forward presentation of micro-economics, in a way that matters to each of us. There's a difference between independence and selfishness. With the subtitle: Economics as if People Mattered, consider what Schumacher's book has to say for the way we live today.

"Schumacher is interested in looking at art, and making sense of, the world as a wholel and in helping the reader to do the same. To this end he unfolds his own metaphysical map...with a humour and clarity I have never before encoutnered in a philosophical text." (Ecologist)"A condensation of a vast and refreshingly unorthodox system of ideas" (Arthur Koestler Observer)"Schumacher's arguments are invigorating, provoking, and often dramatic" (New Statesman)"The most exciting philosophical book for ages" (Daily Mail)"There is a rich store of wisdom and understanding, embedded in the religions of East and West, which our dangerous preoccupation with science has scanted and ignored... This book is about the different ways in which people may see and the blindness of only seeing in one particular way." (Sunday Telegraph)

Cool Tabaccco, Sweet Coca is a first-hand account by Hipolito Candre (Kinerai), an Indian healer from the Columbian Amazon. Translated from the Uitoto language and commented on by the anthropologist Juan Alvaro Echeverri, it contains a selection of Kinerai's narratives, transcribed from numerous tape-recordings, presented in both Uitoto and English. In order to convey the spirit and power of his words, Kinerai's teachings have been rendered in a highly poetic style. He describes how we were formed by the "Word of tobacco and coca", the Word of life, and talks of the Planter of the True Seed, the Word of strength, the Word on discipline, the Invocation for the pregnant mother, the tasks of the mother and the father, and the care of children. He also relates traditional narratives, including the Dreams of Abundance and the story of the giant armadillo.
