The Schumacher Center for a New Economics is a think tank based in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, focused on advancing an economy that benefits people and the planet. Its work blends theoretical research with practical application at local, regional, and international levels, aiming to design transformative systems that support equity and ecological regeneration. The organization traces its roots to the legacy programs of the E.F. Schumacher Society, established in 1980, and aligns with the broader tradition of sustainable economics associated with Schumacher. Its audience includes communities and policymakers seeking alternatives to current economic models that have contributed to environmental and equity crises. In recent news, the center was recognized with the RSA bicentenary medal for contributions to ecological learning and global relevance.
