The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the ultimate long distance challenge – a 35,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe, contested by amateur crews in identical racing yachts. The 2010 winner was 28-year-old Brendan Hall and his crew in Spirit of Australia. Although Brendan was the youngest and least experienced skipper in the race, the win was no accident – it was the culmination of years of training, skilled navigation and a leadership style way beyond his years. His skills were soon put to the test – in the middle of a North Pacific hurricane, Brendan went to the rescue of a competing yacht and skippered both boats across one of the most feared oceans in the world. This brutally honest, no-holds-barred account is revealing and instructive, with valuable lessons in leadership and management – as well as never giving up. Thrown in quite literally at the deep end, he is pushed to the limit, and learns lessons you can only learn the hard way.

The exploration of political economy by Hegel and Henry George reveals their differing approaches to the problem of poverty. Hegel struggled to reconcile the need for freedom in civil society with the realities of physical deprivation and social alienation. In contrast, George identified the paradox of increasing poverty amid rising production and proposed a single tax policy as a solution. This work argues that George's approach addresses the issues Hegel highlighted, yet also suggests that Hegel's conception of individual life hindered the implementation of George's remedy.
