Letter to The Observer:
Dear Sir
David Cameron's suggestion, especially being delivered in soundbites, that his ideological brainwave was fathered by Schumacher, is a mockery of a lifetime of high intellectual thought ("Small is beautiful: the father of Cameron's Big Society", News, last week).
In fact the government's programme of cuts seeks to remove the tools and dismantle the very intricate network structure, i.e. the devolved levels of responsibility and care, which would be essential if one truly wished to make Schumacher's vision a reality.
What the Prime Minister's BS will, in truth, create is a centrally managed amorphous mass, offering no light to the individual who will be left to flounder in a new dark age.
Yours sincerely
Ashley Gunstock
Fair points Ashely, but too many Greens have abandoned Fritz Schumacher’s ideas and become big-state socialists, look at the reaction to Molly’s Living Within Our Means motion.
