Schumacher Center for a New Economics

The Schumacher Center for a New Economics, located at 140 Jug End Road in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, is dedicated to envisioning a just and regenerative economy. Inspired by the principles of ecological economics and Buddhist Economics, the center aims to apply these concepts locally and share the results for broad replication.

This year's Annual Robert Swann Lecture will feature Andrea Golden of Poder Emma, an organization focused on community ownership and cooperative development. The center also collaborates with BerkShares, Inc., a local currency initiative, to reflect on the legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois and address environmental deterioration.

Founded in 1980, the Schumacher Center has been a leading voice in building local economies. As a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, donations to the center are tax-deductible and can be made for general support or specific programs. Join us in reimagining economics for a more sustainable and equitable future.
