Selon quels critères peut-on considérer Schumacher comme un révolutionnaire? Expliquez ce qu’entend Schumacher par technologie "appropriate ". Discutez de l’idée que plus gros n’est pas toujours mieux en matière de développement technologique. Discutez des désastres survenus à Terre-Neuve en raison de l’usine d’ERCO et de la raffinerie de Come By Chance. Qu’aurait pensé Schumacher de l’explosion technologique que le monde a connue après sa mort?
