Synopsis

"Material Wealth" presents a fascinating exploration of how material resources have shaped human civilization and continue to influence modern society. This comprehensive work examines the complex interplay between wealth accumulation, social structures, and cultural development, tracing humanity's relationship with material resources from hunter-gatherer societies to today's digital economy.

 
Through a combination of archaeological evidence, historical records, and contemporary economic data, the book reveals how different cultures have defined and valued material wealth throughout history. The book is uniquely structured around three major themes: the historical evolution of wealth as a societal driver, the psychological impacts of material abundance on human behavior, and the modern implications of wealth inequality in global economies.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting economics with environmental science, psychology, and cultural anthropology to provide a multi-faceted understanding of wealth's role in human development. By examining specific examples from diverse global societies, the book demonstrates how material resources have consistently influenced everything from social hierarchies to technological innovation.

 
Moving from subsistence economies to wealth-accumulating systems, the narrative progresses through detailed analyses of institutional development and concludes with contemporary challenges. The book addresses pressing questions about wealth concentration, resource sustainability, and the changing nature of wealth in the digital age, while maintaining an objective stance on controversial topics. This balanced approach, combined with its accessible writing style, makes complex economic concepts understandable for both academic and general readers interested in understanding the deeper implications of material wealth in society.

    Most business books promise shortcuts to success. This one delivers something better: a battle-tested blueprint for scaling, selling, and surviving as an entrepreneur & business leader. 
    In Failing My Way to Success, Phillip Cantrell takes you inside four decades of founding and leading various businesses, some of which grew to hundreds of millions in annual revenue. Along the way, he shares hard-won lessons from failure, the mindset of resilience, and the strategic frameworks that turn mistakes into momentum. Inside you’ll discover: 
    •	How an average student became a successful entrepreneur, founding or controlling 10 separate businesses. Many built from scratch. 
    •	A mergers & acquisitions roadmap: from preparing clean P&Ls and balance sheets for due diligence, to negotiating letter of intent (LOI) terms, to navigating earn-out periods and post-sale integration. 
    •	Real-world real estate business strategies and scaling a brokerage with discipline. 
    •	Why knowing your cash position daily and running on a “zero accounts receivables” model can protect your business from collapse. 
    •	The often-overlooked realities of life after selling a business—how founders stay engaged during earn-outs, protect their legacy, and rediscover purpose once the deal is done. 
    •	The four cornerstones of sustainable leadership: delegation, observation, working smart, and compassion. 
    This is not theory. It’s the inside story of the decisions, negotiations, and systems that separate businesses that burn out from those that endure—and thrive. 
    Whether you’re scaling a company, preparing to sell one you've built, or simply learning how to turn setbacks into stepping stones, Failing My Way to Success gives you a clear-eyed, practical path forward.

    Kind Business - Values Create Value

    Imagine a corporate world where people and planet are at the heart of leadership decisions and businesses can still find long-term profitability and improved shareholder returns. In ‘Kind Business’ Dr David Cooke shows us that world. 
    Kind Business is divided into three parts. 
    Part 1 looks at traditional business where business behaving badly is highlighted with short-term profit seeking dominating decision making with little regard for negative impacts. These are the decisions that often result in reputational damage, corporate scandals, loss of shareholder value and discredited corporate leaders. 
    The disappointing attitudes and negative impacts of many of todays businesses in areas such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and disregard for human rights are all analysed. David uses examples from global historical occurrences through to todays Australian business landscape, including scandals and poor decision making at General Motors, VW, Enron, Rio Tinto, Qantas, PwC and Optus. The phenomenon of greenwashing, the rise of shareholder activism and the role of whistle blowers in exposing poor practices are all examined. 
    In part 2 David introduces the concept of Kind Business, where the corporate world is reimagined as a place where leaders with courage and high emotional intelligence, ones who understand the interconnectedness of all stakeholders, make decisions based around their customers and the planet. Global and Australian companies and leaders who are advocating for change and championing a new way of doing business are highlighted. 
    And lastly, in part 3, David provides a case study of an Australian tech-sector organisation that highlights evidence of the power of the philosophy of profit and purpose nourishing each other to show that when a business does good then that business will do well and that values create value.
