Why has prosperity for all been an elusive dream? Because we have failed to build great societies and nations. For 7,000 years leaders of our societies have used the doctrine of Conquer and Oppress to rule our nations. This book will describe for you a new doctrine that Brian Sear calls Compete and Empower. This doctrine is based on overcoming the pitiful performances of world leaders that have caused 5.5 billion of the world's population to live in poverty. You will discover that the human race as individual contributors has evolved to be survivors of the fittest, to compete with honor and to be self reliant. Man has learned about creation, the origins of space, the physics of the universe, evolution, science, technology, the human body, and the human spirit. The results have been profound. Human beings have invented, developed and produced products and services that have raised the wealth of the planet for some but not all.
