"A Vigorous Defense of Democracy and Capitalism"
As someone who has spent a substantial part of my life traveling and living internationally, I’ve learned that the American democratic experiment and its capitalist economic model are unique, powerful, and, admittedly, flawed. With clarity and wit, Paul Shotton reminds us of the principles that have made America great and the steps we need to take to reclaim our legacy.
Doomed to Fail is not just an endorsement of America's greatness; it's a call to action. It's an invitation to restore, renew, and revitalize the American Dream. A path that takes us back to our roots of liberal democracy and capitalism, to a future of prosperity and equality. Despite all its challenges, capitalism remains the greatest hope for a free and prosperous world. ADAM DOOLEY, CEO of Belay International Corporation
"Make The Banking System More Stable and Resilient"
In “Doomed to Fail,” Paul Shotton’s formal physics education and intuitive understanding of our banking system shines through. He makes two valuable suggestions to make our banking system more stable and resilient: focus on the equity capital of banks and the incentive compensation of their chief executives. - Sanjai Bhagat, PhD
"Practical Picture... to Prepare For The Upcoming Challenges"
"As an optimistic person and leader, I wasn't sure what to expect from the book with its title, "Doomed To Fail." Happily, I found that Paul Shotton presented a practical and hopeful picture of what we can do to prepare for the upcoming challenges that we will need to overcome to build a better future for our children and grandchildren." Tom Naratil, United States Military Academy at West Point
"Our Systems and Safeguards Are In Urgent Need of Updating"
Paul Shotton’s new book “Doomed to Fail” reveals the uncomfortable fault lines in today’s political, economic, monetary, capital markets and banking systems. In doing so, he draws on his physics background to show how these frameworks are not stable but complex adaptive systems, with inherent strengths and weaknesses. Using examples, he demonstrates that human beings are self-interested agents who will always seek to tilt the scales in their favor, and that these systems’ traditional safeguards are in urgent need of updating. Paul’s arguments are supported by a wealth of research, fascinating in itself, and insightful conclusions delivered in a clear and concise writing style. Steve Lindo
__________________________***__________________________
Human societies are complex adaptive systems, the nature of which has important ramifications for the way in which countries organize themselves politically and arrange themselves economically.
In Doomed To Fail Paul Shotton explains why liberal democracy is the least-bad political framework, and why every other political system will inevitably lead to war. Likewise, capitalism, which emerged naturally from the industrial revolution, is the least bad way for a polity to organize economically.
Every attempt to improve upon or replace capitalism, however well intentioned, has led to economic disaster. That democracy and capitalism are symbiotic and aligned with the best interests of humanity stems from an underlying mechanism they share with the development of life on earth itself.
Shotton then zooms-in on central banks to discuss the role they played in causing the Global Financial Crisis and, by virtue of their response to it, made the fallout much worse.
As a result of their incompetence and arrogance, our political and economic elite risk the destruction of democracy and capitalism, which have been the source of all human progress since the dawn of humanity. He calls for renewed invigoration of the principles upon which America was founded if disaster for humanity is to be averted.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
