Hi Erik,

I think you are thinking of EF Schumacher's *Small is Beautiful - A Study of 
Economics As If People Mattered*.  I find that my copy (London, Abacus) was 
printed in 1979, which is probably about when I read it, but I remember I 
was impressed by it.  There is a chapter entitled 'Buddhist Economics', but 
the whole book (if unreliable memory serves) is Buddhist-influenced.  I must 
read it again.
