Summary

In a world awash with information and uncertainty, "From Nobody to Philosopher" emerges as a beacon of clarity and inspiration. This captivating narrative chronicles the extraordinary journey of Alex Spencer, a man who dared to question the fabric of reality and explore the labyrinth of the human condition.

From his humble beginnings in a small town, Alex's insatiable curiosity propelled him into the world of academia, where he immersed himself in the works of great thinkers, both ancient and modern. With each passing day, his mind expanded, embracing new perspectives and challenging long-held beliefs.

But Alex's quest for enlightenment extended beyond the confines of the ivory tower. He ventured into the bustling streets, engaging with people from all walks of life, listening to their stories, and learning from their experiences. He sought wisdom in the unlikeliest of places, believing that true understanding could only be found through a multitude of lenses.

Along his path, Alex encountered both triumph and adversity, moments of profound insight and periods of doubt and despair. He grappled with life's big questions: the nature of consciousness, the existence of free will, the meaning of suffering, and the ultimate purpose of human existence.

Yet, through it all, Alex remained steadfast in his pursuit of truth, never shying away from the most challenging of inquiries. He embraced the discomfort of uncertainty, recognizing that it is in the crucible of doubt that the most transformative revelations are born.

As Alex's philosophical journey unfolded, he realized that the pursuit of wisdom is not a solitary endeavor. It is a shared experience, a tapestry woven from the threads of human connection. For it is in dialogue with others, in the exchange of ideas and perspectives, that we truly expand our understanding of the world and ourselves.

"From Nobody to Philosopher" is more than just a biography; it is an invitation to embark on a philosophical quest of your own. Join Alex on his extraordinary journey as he challenges assumptions, explores new ideas, and ultimately discovers the profound meaning of life. This book is a testament to the power of curiosity, the importance of embracing uncertainty, and the transformative nature of philosophical inquiry.

    How the Aussie economy got hooked on the world's dirtiest cash. 
  
Longlisted for a 2022 Walkley Award and earning the author the 2022 Financial Crime Fighter Award. 
In today's ruthless world of organised crime, the best criminals aren't foolish enough to steal money out of banks. They wear tailored suits, carry briefcases, and discreetly slip money into banks.  
Bigwigs, oligarchs and crime syndicates running drugs, trafficking guns and people, arming terrorists and subverting government controls are desperate to put a legitimate face on their wealth. Washing dirty money, moving it around the globe, making it look legitimate is where the action is for both criminals and the authorities chasing them. 
Australia is awash with dirty money. It flows through our economy, keeps banks running, powers big business, puts coffee on restaurant tables, seeps into clubs, pubs, sport, the art world and anywhere that value is moved. It infiltrates real estate, costs billions in policing, and takes a terrible toll on Australian lives. What law enforcement agencies might lack in legislation and political will they make up for with sheer resourcefulness. When they can't get at the masterminds and bigwigs, they have honed tactics that intercept the flow of illicit cash and aim to drive a wedge between crooks and their ill-gotten wealth. 
In The Lucky Laundry, financial crime expert Nathan Lynch delves deep inside this hidden world to explain how dark money has infected the lives of ordinary people - and tainted Australian democracy. He opens the curtain on the hidden world of financial intelligence, where crooks and spooks play a cat-and-mouse game inside the world's black money markets. 
Enter the realm of the agents and undercover operatives who defend our democracy against the corrosive force of billions of dirty dollars.

    During the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese state sought to eradicate religious life throughout the country. But by 1978, two years after the death of Mao Zedong, the Communist Party under Deng Xiaoping cautiously embraced the revival of religion. At the same time, the newly elected Pope John Paul II made a point of renewing outreach to China. Paul P. Mariani tracks the fate of Chinese Catholicism in the wake of these transformative leadership changes, focusing on the influential Catholic community in Shanghai. 
 
 
 
Earlier policies of the 1950s had fractured the Catholic community into a state-approved "patriotic" church that answered to the government and an underground church loyal to Rome. Even after the Cultural Revolution, Mariani shows, this divide remained firmly intact. The resulting tensions were on vivid display in Shanghai, owing to the leadership of the Jesuit priest Louis Jin Luxian. Bishop Jin used his position to revitalize the local Catholic community, but his cooperation with the party put him ever at odds with underground church leaders. 
 
 
 
Sensitive to the ideals, compromises, and disappointments of Catholics on both sides of the rift, China's Church Divided reveals how the community navigated the irreconcilable differences between a worldwide Church centered in Rome and a regime wary of foreign spiritual authority.

    A fascinating examination of the rapid concentration of global capital, with chapters that focus on China and Russia. 
 
 
 
In Titans of Capital, Peter Phillips, a political sociologist, poses three key research questions: To what extent do the wealthy influence—or even dominate—decision making that affects all of us in society? Who are the most powerful people? And how does the accumulation of capital work? 
 
 
 
Networks of wealthy individuals have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Titans of Capital shows how the financial investments of transnational elites threaten human rights and the future of the planet. Phillips warns that while continued concentration of global capital increases the profits enjoyed by the global economy's "Titans,", it also increases global inequality, starvation, and civil unrest, threatening the lives of the hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty. It is imperative to ask how we can reverse the concentration of Titan wealth and revitalize grassroots democracy unbridled by extreme wealth. Identifying 117 global Titans by name and exposing the networks and interests that unite them provides listeners opposed to militarism and committed to economic equality with crucial tools to directly engage the power elite who endanger life on earth.
