In Tek Kişilik Şirket, Paul Jarvis questions the habit of measuring a business’s success through continual growth. He considers staying small a deliberate choice and invites readers to think about the scale of work, income expectations and their relationship with working life together.
The relationship between tools for making, working arrangements and scale opens further questions about design and systems. Gaining more capacity and taking on more responsibility may not always move in the same direction.
Reading question
Can a business become better, more resilient and more meaningful without growing larger?
