Leopold Kohr
Leopold Kohr (5 October 1909 – 26 February 1994) was an economist, jurist and political scientist known both for his opposition to the "cult of bigness" in social organization and as one of those who inspired the Small Is Beautiful movement. For almost twenty years, he was Professor of Economics and Public Administration at the University of Puerto Rico. He described himself as a "philosophical anarchist." His most influential work was The Breakdown of Nations. In 1983, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for "his early inspiration of the movement for a human scale." Kohr is considered to represent degrowth, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-utilitarist concepts and ideology.[1] He was also considered a green anarchist.[2] Kohr was a mentor of E. F. Schumacher as well as Ivan Illich.[3]
