Money is about relationship: between individuals and between communities. Small is still beautiful - as microcredit shows.
As we consider the plight of our consumer-driven economy, it is easy to forget that money is about relationship: between individuals and between communities. In our current financial mess, it is worth reminding ourselves of community-based alternatives, and to look closely at microcredit, a model of peer lending to enable people to move out of poverty. From Bangladesh, from South Africa, from Ghana, and from the East End of London, we are given a worm's eye view of small scale work, of personal transformation, and the building of community. Small and local is still beautiful, and has much to teach us.

In 1999 a Churchill Fellowship enabled Jennifer to study microcredit in Bangladesh. Since then, she has set up programmes in various parts of Africa and in the UK. She is a Quaker, a former literary agent, and a writer and speaker on the Spirit-led life. This is her fifth book. www.jenniferkavanagh.co.uk
