Summary

Fortunes Vanished explores the intriguing phenomenon of significant wealth disappearance throughout history. It examines not just the "how" of lost fortunes, but also the "why," delving into the roles of greed, mismanagement, and political instability. The book reveals that vanished fortunes are rarely due to a single cause, but rather a confluence of factors that expose the precarious nature of wealth, regardless of its size. For example, the book highlights the impact of economic upheaval, such as revolutions, which have wiped out entire national fortunes.

 
The book takes a narrative non-fiction approach, blending historical accounts with financial analysis. It investigates instances of physical loss, like plundered treasures and lost gold mines, alongside cases of financial mismanagement and the impact of political and economic upheaval. Beginning with the core concepts of wealth creation and threats to its preservation, it progresses through case studies grouped thematically, analyzing common threads and drawing lessons about financial prudence and ethical conduct.

 
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding risk and responsible stewardship for preserving wealth, making it valuable for investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history of finance.

    “Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
		 
“It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
		 
In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.
