If you can stomach, intellectually digest and rationally consider, without prejudice, the various politically-incorrect, inappropriate, risqué, socially-unacceptable, provocative and, some might say, offensive ideas about sex put forward in this book, then you may well have what it takes to be a genius.

In an historic referendum in June 2016, the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. We voted for Brexit. The Leavers have celebrated. The Remainers have had plenty of opportunity to complain about the result. Now, however, it's time we all pulled together to build a successful post-Brexit economy. And this book is a straight-talking, economically-literate and unashamedly patriotic guide to how that success can be achieved.

There are lots of people who pretend to understand Economics, but there are very few who really do understand Economics.

The Basic Income is, for many people, a very appealing idea: Pay every citizen a fixed, non-means-tested amount every week, sufficient to pay for essentials.The potential advantages of such a system are enormous. The basic income could replace a wide range of existing means-tested benefits and result in a massive reduction in bureaucracy, huge cost-savings and greatly improved economic incentives. And it would be a kinder, more civilised way to help people out of poverty.Un...

Longer working hours, later retirement, lousy pensions - hardly the life of leisure we were promised for the 21st century! We also have dirty hospitals, troops without proper equipment and schools that provide an appalling standard of education. So what went wrong and what can we do about it? This book provides an introduction in straightforward English to the Real Economics of real resources and real people's lives.

Intelligence is born out of the willingness to question what we are told - whatever it may be! Each chapter in this book asks us to do just that - question accepted ideas and popular opinions - and, through questioning them, develop the ability to overcome the prejudices that stand between us and greater intelligence.Warning: Contains material some may find offensive.

Are you irritated by dogmatic religious belief on the one hand and by close-minded, pompous atheism (of the angry Richard Dawkins variety) on the other? Would you be interested in a more intelligent perspective on religious ideas? Intelligent people often find themselves in a dilemma regarding religion. They may be interested in religious concepts and keen to explore issues of purpose and meaning, but are repelled by the sort of unthinking, ritual-obsessed brands of religion that m...

This is a poker strategy book with a difference. Many poker books, often written by big-name professional players, focus on the advanced tactics you might find useful in top-class poker championships. Often, this isn't, however, what your typical poker player is actually looking for. They want to know how to beat Mike from next door, not Doyle Brunson or Phil Ivey. If you've never read any poker strategy books, that's great, because this is the place to start - this is stra...

The key to intelligence is to be able to overcome the prejudices of the society we live in and thus free our minds to think beyond what society assumes to be correct and beyond what it deems to be 'acceptable.' Pearls of Wosdom, like the other books in the series, offers a selection of opinion pieces illustrating how intelligent thinking has almost nothing to do with political-correctness! Please note that the Wosdom books can be read in any order. Warning: Contains material some may find ...

The key to intelligence is the willingness to question things. It is particularly important to be willing to question the things that most other people assume to be correct, even when they haven't made the slightest effort to think about the principles involved.Wosdom Teeth, like the other Wosdom books (which can be read in any order), offers provocative opinions in order to encourage readers to think beyond the politically-correct prejudices of the society they live in.

This is a sort of guidebook for gifted students, designed to help you nurture your potential as an exceptionally intelligent and thoughtful person.From the introduction: "I didn't write this book in order to help people become 'moderately clever.' I wrote it for those people with the determination to develop the sort of exceptional super-intelligence that only a few people even know exists. Whilst many people might benefit from reading this book, it is primarily intended for that t...

Unfortunately, public debate about the economy has become dominated by myths and nonsense. However, if you prefer economic sense to economic fairy-tales and if you'd like to be rather better-informed about economic matters than the average panellist on Question Time, this may be the book you are looking for. This book performs the simple function of highlighting a selection of the myths commonly relied upon during popular economic debates and explaining - not in technical terms, but in pla...
