Ep 4 - Small is Beautiful

In this episode we explore the economic concept 'Small is Beautiful' and it's relevance to the Howard Luck Gossage story. Howard always believed in keeping things small. His ad agency for example never grew beyond 12 staff, and his infamous New Yorker ads would run just once. His discovery of an anarchic, philiosopher, economist Leopold Kohr led to his involvement in a revolution in the Carribean. We'll be covering that story about Anguilla in a future episode.In this show we get the chance to hear more from Kohr himself, along with his pupil E FSchumacher. Their thoughts are especially relevant now to the challenges of economic growth, the digital world and Artificial Intelligence.Archive sources:1989 radio interview with Leopold Kohr, interviewed by David Cayleyhttps://www.davidcayley.com/podcasts/2017/11/25/leopold-kohrSmall Is Beautiful: Impressions of Fritz SchumacherDirected by Donald Brittain, Barrie Howells and Douglas Kiefer - 1978 | 30 minNFB.cahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIlsgMngyhE&t=533sTheme music - Translucent Mind by Jamison Dewlen
