In Small Is Beautiful, the British economist E.F. Schumacher proclaimed that economic development, the complexity of human life, the pursuit of efficiency and productivity, and human tolerance for ever-finer divisions of labor could all only be pushed to a given point.
「經濟發展只能『到某種程度』、生命只能複雜『到某種程度』、追求效率或生產力只能『到某種程度』、人性對細密分工只能忍受『到某種程度』。」
