This Must Be the Place: Creative Enterprise in a New Economy

The Thirty-Fourth Annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures will be held on Saturday, November 15th, 2014, at Judson Memorial Church at 55 Washington Square Park South, New York City.  The speakers are Matt Stinchcomb and Caroline Woolard, and the theme of the Lectures is “This Must Be the Place: Creative Enterprise in a New Economy.” 

The first Annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures were delivered in 1981 by Wendell Berry, Wes Jackson, and Hazel Henderson.  They emphasized the importance of vibrant regional economies at a time when the focus of the nation was on an expanding global economy. Now that the global economy has been shown to deliver increased inequality, environmental degradation, and monoculture, a growing number of people are turning to an economics that recognizes the importance of place, community, and human-scale technologies and solutions.  At the Thirty-Fourth Annual Schumacher Lectures Matt Stinchcomb and Caroline Woolard will explore the role of creative enterprise in developing this new economy.

Tickets are $35 and include lunch. $25 tickets are available for students.  Pr-registration required at www.centerforneweconomics.org/register or call the Schumacher Center for a New Economics at (413) 528 1737.
