Book cover for Postcapitalism: A Guide to Our Future
According to the OECD, growth in the developed world will be ‘weak’ for the next fifty years. Inequality will rise by 40 per cent. Even in the developing countries, the current dynamism will be exhausted by 2060.2

“Consciously or unconsciously, all human beings participate in this evolution. When we create anything—from a letter to a meal—we bring energy into form through the deconstruction and reconstruction of elements. The process begins even before we have the idea. With the realization that something is needed, we put ourselves in the gap between what is and what is not yet, between what is not yet and what is to be. We engage in the transformation of form into energy into form by expressing our own essence in the world.”
Katherine Robertson-Pilling, The Wheel of Creativity: Taking Your Place in the Adventure of Life

“I have often heard the advice, “When you’re feeling bad, go out into the night and look at the stars.” Why it is so healing is a mystery, but it has something to do with remembering my actual position in it all. At a deeper level, knowing that we are made of the same elements grounds me; sensing that the same process forms us from those elements moves me to my core.”
Katherine Robertson-Pilling, The Wheel of Creativity: Taking Your Place in the Adventure of Life

“… be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and … try to love the questions themselves…. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” (Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet, New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1934)”
