Much of the 20th and 21st Century has been about "Bigger is Better" or "Get Big or Get Out". All well and good for the top 5% but how has it worked out at the grassroots level.

I consider there is a human limit to organizations, be they public, private or socially orientated, being managed in a efficient and effective manner. The late 20th century and early 21st is littered with large corporations either stagnating or folding like General Motors. The old USSR.

I started writing this book in the 1980's. Then the Berlin Wall came down and it was meant to be a brave new world, and I dropped the uncompleted book. Globalization, Corporatization, and Crony Capitalization are going gang busters. Mum and Pop stores shut, small and medium towns economically shrink while distribution centers are created on a Global distribution basis. I restarted “Smaller is Better” again, was surprised at how little I wanted to change, and now finished.

My book "Smaller is Better" is not a prescription on how to cure the world's ills, it is intended to prompt people to ask the right questions and figure out the solution to meet their particular social and economic needs and aspirations.
