The source of all wealth is enterprise. Enterprise is the action of the Entrepreneur to start a firm to produce and sell goods and services, and it is intended that the firm would operate under increasing returns to scale.The book is based on the concept of increasing returns to scale. Increasing returns to scale is the source of profit. The economic theory of increasing returns to scale is discussed in detail, and this concept explains why enterprise and entrepreneurs operate through increasing returns to scale to create wealth.Aside from the theory, Part II explains how you can get rich from nothing, using enterprise alone. Just what is in your head, and a bit of initial hard work. No capital is needed, and no, it is not risky. As a famous venture capitalist said, if the business fails, you are the last to be fired. All you need is a profitable idea. An original one is best. Otherwise you can copy somebody else's successful idea. Many do. But the firm has to operate under increasing returns to scale. Otherwise you are just buying yourself a job. So be enterprising. Start a firm to produce and sell something!

What is the Spreadsheet Perpetual Inventory Method? It is a method to use a Spreadsheet to derive a stock value from a continuous list of flow variables. In the Spreadsheet Perpetual Inventory Method the flow inputs are totaled for the specific period of that cohort of flow data to provide the total stock in that period.The Spreadsheet Perpetual Inventory Method not only provides more accurate and dependable results than the Perpetual Inventory Method using mathematical equations, but it is simpler to use. The results are more understandable to the average person. Also, you do not require years of study as an actuary or a demographer to learn and use complex formulae. All you need to understand is the relationship between flows, including depreciation and appreciation when they are used, and stocks at any point in time. The user just has to understand simple arithmetic. Indeed, after the spreadsheet has been set up, the user just needs to know just how to use the spreadsheet and how it works. Yet this spreadsheet produces more accurate results than using mathematical equations.In this book the Spreadsheet Perpetual Inventory Method (SPIM) is described clearly and precisely, and this methodology can be used estimate the total stock or population at any time from the flows of the inputs and outputs. These flows can be continuously depreciated and appreciated at the same time, yet produce accurate totals.SPIM will greatly simplify accounting inventory estimation, actuarial methods, demography, ecology, and any other study that tries to estimate the value of stocks from flow data.

TAXES ON ECONOMIC RENTS are considered by economist to be an "ideal" tax. That means that there are no distortions when the tax is applied. The currently applied taxes have distortions that shift the burden of the tax onto the economically weak, reduce investment, reduce growth, increase unemployment, and apply an invisible "tax on tax" that reduces the possible amount of tax revenue can be raised. Economic rent taxes are free of these harmful effects. From the age of the Pharaohs bad tax design has repeatedly led to economic collapse, civil wars and total disaster. Economic rent taxes could prevent this happening again.

The book describes a very simple method to find increasingly profitable companies to invest in and rejecting investment in companies which are likely to be unprofitable. You can do this yourself without needing the assistance of investment advisers and tipsters.This method, calculating the degree of Returns to Scale of a company, is new and has been used to date by only a few individuals to their considerable profit. Firms with Increasing Returns to Scale have rapidly increasing profits and usually rising share prices. Now, using this book anyone can use this method easily to find firms with Increasing Returns to Scale to invest in, (and rejecting investment in firms with Decreasing and Negative Returns to Scale), to their great profit.
