Overview

"How does flow create form? How do structures and processes constrain flow? This book takes a unique approach to such themes by comparing two apparently unrelated sets of phenomena - water in the natural environment, and money in the human economy - and showing how the same archetypal patterns manifest in both realms. The world has witnessed the ravages of unconstrained abuse of both water and money. Out of concern at this painful reality, Liquidity offers fascinating and inspiring insights into pathology and potential healing in the natural and social ecologies. Steve Briault's aphoristic, provocative text is beautifully complemented by Angus Jenkinson's striking and radiant images in this collaborative exploration. Readership The book is suitable for young adults, college students, and general readership. Praise ""This is a little gem, informed by a big idea: that in our use of both water and money we can see both the best and the worst of what we call 'wealth'. 'Liquidity' will flow through your mind like water trickles through your fingers."" Jonathon Porritt, Forum for the Future, an international authority on ecology and environment. ""Idea, insight and image combine powerfully in this beautiful, yet challenging exploration of global patterns created by water and money; twin barometers of our relationship with the Earth, its resources and each other."" John Grounds, Chair CharityComms, ex-director NSPCC and RSPCA, leading British charities. ""This beguiling little book is a meditation on flow that opens one's heart to a truer and freer relationship to money. "" Sebastian Parson, Founder, Elysia Commons, as chair, Biodynamic Agricultural Association, UK. ""This book conveys some crucial messages for mankind to address if we are to build a sustainable future; a world where all can flourish. Reflecting the deep presence of the co-creators, it does it with a simplicity, clarity and beauty that makes it a joy to feast on."" Esther Ridsdale, Founder, Civil Society Forum, UK."
