Schumacher's Small is Beautiful, with its plea for alternative...
...volcano had erupted in his chest. God knows I had no other end in view but to spare Egypt the consequences of an internal conflict between the rulers of the land that was becoming increasingly intensified. It was this that made the July Revolution, for all its achievements, steer Egypt on a disastrous course culminating in the 1967 defeat [in the Six-Day War with Israel] which very nearly blotted out all our earlier achievements...
