An adventure-packed biography of a dynamic entrepreneur, whose exciting career sees him scoring win after win against dangers, setbacks and adversities. Fred sets off on the adventure of a lifetime, surviving a near hurricane in the Navy and seeing parts of the world he could only dream of, growing up in a small Irish town during World War II. Through his life, Fred faces new and exciting challenges: a career in Shell Petroleum leads to his building a highly successful tomato farm and building a privately-commissioned oil refinery, where his plant in Northern Ireland is targeted by bomb plots and death threats. Undeterred by bombs, six-month bank strikes, competitor espionage, and even being held on suspicion of IRA activity, he moves on to launch Atlas Oil International, still trading after forty years. Fred's rollercoaster career changes see him shifting to semi-state Venture Capital Analyst as MD of the Irish Health Services Development Corporation, a stint in the Saudi desert, and a confrontation with the Saudi military commander. When his fortune is severely trimmed in the Lloyd's debacle and the Stock Market crash, he recovers with aplomb, launching Greenman Group and repeating his entrepreneurial success in London and Europe. Still smiling, Fred takes on his biggest challenge yet at 87: writing his larger-than-life story in Adventures of a Serial Entrepreneur: Achievements over Adversity.

A former Senior Partner and Global Managing Director at the legendary design firm IDEO shows how to design conversations and meetings that are creative and impactful. Conversations are one of the most fundamental means of communicating we have as humans. At their best, conversations are unconstrained, authentic and open—two or more people sharing thoughts and ideas in a way that bridges our individual experiences, achieves a common goal. At their worst, they foster misunderstanding, frustration and obscure our real intentions. How often do you walk away from a conversation feeling really heard? That it moved the people in it forward in some important way? You’re not alone. In his practice as a designer, Fred Dust began to approach conversations differently. After years of trying to broker communication between colleagues and clients, he came to believe there had to a way to design the art of conversation itself with intention and purpose, but still artful and playful. Making Conversation codifies what he learned and outlines the seven elements essential to successful exchanges: Commitment, Creative Listening, Clarity, Context, Constraints, Change, and Create. Taken together, these seven elements form a set of resources anyone can use to be more deliberate and purposeful in making conversations work.

This ambitious book presents a comprehensive new 'macro-monetary' interpretation of Marx’s logical method in Capital, based on substantial textual evidence, which emphasises two main points: (1) Marx’s theory is primarily a macroeconomic theory of the total surplus-value produced in the economy as a whole; and (2) Marx’s theory is a monetary theory from beginning to end and the circuit of money capital – M - C - M’ – is the logical framework of Marx’s theory. It follows from this 'macro-monetary' interpretation that, contrary to the prevailing view, there is no 'transformation problem' in Marx’s theory; i.e., Marx did not 'fail to transform the inputs of constant capital and variable capital' in his theory of prices of production in Part 2 of Volume III.
