Whenever problems threaten to become overwhelming, the reasons for this are excess, lack of clarity, and excessiveness - a thesis that has become inextricably linked to the name Leopold Kohr. As a dedicated contemporary witness and global citizen, Kohr tirelessly emphasized his philosophy of smallness when addressing social and political issues. He illustrates how these issues manifest in all parts of the world, regardless of national, ethnic, or ideological backgrounds, in numerous contributions published between 1941 and 1994 in newspapers and magazines. Compiled into a Leopold Kohr reader, Kohr's fundamental analyses of social, political, and economic misdevelopments provide a refreshingly different perspective on the 20th century. Kohr's unparalleled ability to view even these developments with wit and humor makes his works particularly enjoyable to read.
