Produktbeschreibung
These are easily the most challenging essays on the planet. Pinwill is an original conceptual thinker with a dry sense of humor and turn of phrase. Whether its politics, national economics, history, theology or money his writing all comes from somewhere different. You'll need to buy his essays to discover whether you love or hate them. He has even thrown in the first Profit and Loss Account ever done for the United States, and the first Comprehensive Balance Sheet ever done for Australia, to show us that he is not just a pretty face and a comedian. His "Mongrel Dog" articles are all at the expense of politicians. His pieces on money leave all bankers' ears burning. He proves with very scholarly accounts that modern nations are profitable, and suggests that the profit might be distributed as a National Dividend rather than a National Debt. Yes, he certainly comes from another place and is going to a different one as well. Walk with him for a mile and you will feel the seductive attraction of his destination.

Autorenporträt
Charles Pinwill was born to pioneering farmers, and had a happy rural childhood in Gayndah, Queensland's oldest town. An early childhood experience - an overheard conversation between adults speculating that the directive control of the world was in very few hands - proved pivotal, igniting an enduring fascination for the challenge of returning the jurisdiction of money to its legitimate owners, the general public. After local primary schools he attended an academic secondary school, Brisbane Grammar, before returning home to farming. He was active in the Junior Farmer/Rural Youth organisation, serving on its State Council for several years and participating in its debating competitions.In 1969 with his brother Don he bought Yaramulla, nearly 70 square miles of fertile undeveloped land in North Queensland, developed it as a cattle station, and later grew potatoes and other crops. They did all the development and stock work themselves, including water drilling. In the early 1980s this property was requisitioned by the State Government as a National Park, and subsequently has produced absolutely nothing at all. The property contained the Undara Crater and many lava tunnels which the brothers were the first to explore. In the 1970s Charles actively campaigned against the imposition of Death Duties and contributed to this tax's abolition throughout Australia. An avid reader, he has since his youth preferred the areas of history, politics, and finance-economics. He is currently an investment analyst, and advisor and director to a number of private companies. He edits a monthly journal on economic and political affairs.
