The Pledge;
"I promise never to be greedy, or to take any more than I need to live.
I will strive to work hard to help others, and do all the things that need to be done.
I promise to only do unto others as I would have others do unto me.”
There stood alone a gaudy and brilliantly lit marquee. A huge, brightly painted signboard hung above the entrance that bore just one word-‘GRATIS’, just reading it left an echo inside his mind’s ear.
He was intrigued.
Standing outside was a tall moustachioed showman.
“How much?” Asked the man
With a voice of deepest chestnut he drawled a reply, “Oh we don’t charge admission fees here!” His black Daliesque moustache twitching with every sylable, and an illuminating grin spreading across his swarthy features, “This show is for free, and it’s about to start. Here kid,” he said, “Take a programme.” it read...
Greed propagated by Governments, politicians, global big businesses, plutocracies, religions, petty bureaucrats, and so many other vested interests.
All these were guided by, and lived for the love of MONEY.
It started centuries ago, and has continued ever since.”...
The Interview;
TOM REES-PARRY: It seems utterly inconceivable to me now that people the world over used to struggle under class based systems.
We are all of us born into the same species. We share the same DNA. So it seems to me totally unjust that due to an accident of birth some people are born into a world of wealth and privilege, while others are born into poverty and struggle. And the thing that marks the difference is money-if you’ve got it your life is sweet and you can consider yourself higher up the pecking order than those who haven’t got any. But the new system will level everybody upwards...
The Life;
I sat cross-legged on the warm ground, drinking in the scene, quickly followed by a home brew chaser, and feeling very much at peace with my world I stood up, turned, and headed back to the group... So follows the life and times of Stevie as he grows up, lives his life and works in a happy and stable post capitalist, resource-based society. It is a life nurtured in a culture founded on common sense, not overbearing idiot bureaucracy. Free from corruption, crime, and the dead hand of political interference. Above all, it is a society that has moved on and has managed to free itself from the shackles of capitalism. In so doing has eradicated poverty and has discovered that true enlightenment only comes when living comes without a price-tag.

About the Book
Windfall of the Wise is a response to the many problems we all share in this life. Problems brought about almost exclusively by the controlling presence of money in our lives.
The world’s financial institutions are haemorrhaging wealth and security like
All the while a global depression inches ever nearer.
In the present financial climate the stress of living with money is all too evident.
If you have it, someone is always trying to take it from you. If you don’t have it you know that life can be one hell of a struggle.
It has been at the root of almost every conflict.
It is at the bottom of corruption and the majority of all crime.
It is the absolute cause of poverty and hardship.
And it rules our lives to such an extent that we are losing our grip on our humanity-every waking hour spent chasing after it, or desperately trying to hold on to what we have already got.
It can even be argued that the health of Mother Earth herself is in dire jeopardy as a direct result of this absurd pursuit of financial wealth.
But what if there were other options?
.
Windfall of the Wise is a testament, a design for a different and better way of life.
One lived free from greed, wars, crime, and hardship. It is a life of true security, lived in a happy stable society. One borne of common sense, respect and absolute equality.
So suspend disbelief. If you cannot open your mind then at least keep it slightly ajar, and see whether you agree or disagree with this author’s argument.
About the Author
Born in
“So far I have lived a varied life,” He said, “and I have fulfilled the ambitions of many little boys of my generation-namely, I have driven trains, I have been a soldier, and for many happy years I was a fire-fighter. Had I managed to become an astronaut, I would have completed the set!
I’ve always loved words and art.
I’ve done the art, and although there are still a million more pictures in my mind that are yet to be immortalised on canvass, I feel it’s now time to pull the words out of my head, and immortalise them in ink.
About a decade ago I found the perfect subject for my soapbox, but struggled to convey it effectively to my peers-until now.”
So here it is, his first novel. Windfall of the Wise.
Some people may call it a wake-up call. Some might call it a rant. Others may describe it as the deranged ravings of a madman. But Max himself refers to it as “A design for a better life, the kind of life that I’d snatch your hand off for if you offered it to me!”
