Description

Explore the complexities of the localism movement in Small Isn't Beautiful by Brookings Institution Press. While the "eat local" slogan suggests that proximity always equals better quality or environmental friendliness, this book challenges that widespread worldview. It examines the idea that local government and knowledge are inherently superior to external sources. This work acknowledges that while some local elements are beneficial, being local does not automatically make a product or idea better than one from far away. The text addresses the undeserved aura of respectability often given to localism, providing a necessary perspective on how we view food, government, and information in a connected world.

Key Features

Small Isn't Beautiful provides a critical look at the popular "eat local" marketing slogan and its underlying assumptions.

This book from Brookings Institution Press examines the broader worldview that suggests everything local is inherently better.

The text explores how localism affects views on government and knowledge beyond just food production.

Readers will find a detailed analysis of why proximity does not always equal higher quality or better environmental outcomes.
