We live in a world which has never before seen the level of population growth, environmental degradation and poverty discrepancy in human history. We live in a world that has created more technological, medical, mass communication, mass transport and human advances in the last century than in the previous millennia. And we live in a world where the resources of the individual mind, the will of the people and the potential of the human race is able to realise a prosperous future for all. What we now need are new essentials that can support society’s developments.

Ideas on the Essentials contains seven short essays which outline why we need new essentials and explores how these essentials can easily be implemented. This is not a self-help book, but rather a thoughtful discussion on how to sustain a prosperous society. Ideas on the Essentials provides social commentary for today, but based on age-old philosophical traditions of Plato, Hobbes, Locke, Mill and Rousseau. Any reader with an interest in how the world works, and how to continue improving our systems will find Ideas on the Essentials an indispensable read. This book is a short and accessible commentary on issues that should matter to everyone.

Ideas on the Essentials is a book for today. It is written to inspire, provoke and above all, encourage you, the reader, to create a world that builds a lasting global civilization. While idealistic at times, it takes a realistic approach to tackling today's global issues. Ideas on the Essentials is a book about creating a prosperous world today.
