"The Institute, formerly the '''E. F. Schumacher Society''', is working in close partnership with the [[New Economics Foundation]] from London to add the programs and experience developed in the UK to its own work in the US. " <ref>[http://neweconomicsinstitute.org/about_us About], New Economics Institute, accessed December 12, 2011.</ref>

The '''E. F. Schumacher Society''', "named after the author of Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered, is an educational non-profit organization founded in 1980. Our programs demonstrate that both social and environmental sustainability can be achieved by applying the values of human-scale communities and respect for the natural environment to economic issues.

"Building on a rich tradition often known as decentralism, the Society initiates practical measures that lead to community revitalization and further the transition toward an economically and ecologically sustainable society." <ref>[http://www.schumachersociety.org/about.html About], E.
