The Annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures include some of the foremost voices on a new economics. In October 1981 the E. F. Schumacher Society (now the Schumacher Center for a New Economics) hosted the first annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures, which were delivered by Wendell Berry, Hazel Henderson, and Wes Jackson. They offered a promising view of the world as it could and should be. It was a propitious beginning for what has become a respected tradition. We have garnered over the years a splendid compendium of lectures (edited by Hildegarde Hannum) that are acquainting people with a cultural and economic revolution in the making. Speakers challenge entrenched ways of thinking. They are sometimes profound, sometimes practical, sometimes funny, always provocative, and invariably their wisdom points the way to a future in which people, land, and community matter. The Lecturers include some of the leading proponents of a new economics. From the beginning the lectures have been printed as pamphlets in order to give them a permanent form; now they are also available on the Schumacher Center's website (centerforneweconomics.org) in both written and audio form. Publishing in ebook format continues to make their compelling messages available to a growing audience. The E. F. Schumacher Lecture Series includes talks by Gar Alperovitz, Thomas Berry, Wendell Berry, Dan Barber, Peter Barnes, Elise Boulding, David Brower, Majora Carter, Marie Cirillo, David Ehrenfeld, Neva Goodwin, Hunter Hannum, Alanna Hartzok, Richard Heinberg, Hazel Henderson, Ivan Illich, Wes Jackson, Jane Jacobs, Van Jones, Andrew Kimbrell, David Korten, Winona LaDuke, Anna Lappe, Frances Moore Lappe, Thomas Linzey, Amory Lovins, Oren Lyons, Jerry Mander, John McClaughry, Bill McKibben, John McKnight, Stephanie Mills, Stacey Mitchell, John Mohawk, David Morris, Helena Norberg Hodge, David Orr, Will Raap, Kirkpatrick Sale, Otto Scharmer, Juliet Schor, E.
