The Wealth of the People: Your Wealth

By Fernando Urias

The Wealth of the People Book Series

The task of explaining the causes of the wealth of the people is going to be too long and complex for a single eBook. To facilitate the explanation and the delivery of the material, I will publish an eBook on each logical set of topics. The following are the planned titles of the book series:

Your Wealth
The first book looks at the time savings gained by a single person increasing his physical and mind assets in a desert island.

The Wealth of Your Neighbor
The second book is about the agreements that two people have to make to be in a path of increasing their respective wealth.

The Wealth of the Market
The third book explains the possibilities offered by a free market to produce wealth for its people. This book explains the wealth production results when the competitive advantage of every single individual is brought to a free market.

The Wealth of the Business Enterprise
The fourth book is about the function of the business enterprise to produce wealth for the people that are its customers.

The Wealth of the State
The fifth book discusses what happens when we remove the assumption that everybody is going to behave correctly. The book explores the historical formation of the state and the implications for the production of wealth. The book explains that the state is the keeper of the citizen's charter. There is no social contract here.

The Wealth of Social Capital
The sixth book is the core of the series. Social Capital is defined in this book as the ability of a society to learn and agree on the rules that are necessary for the production of wealth. This is the key for the wealth of the people in society. This is the ingredient that is a prerequisite for physical and human capital formation and is the ingredient missing in many countries that are not able to achieve wealth.

The Wealth of Physical Capital
The seventh book is about the wealth of the physical capital that humanity has today. It should make you grateful that you live in this age and not five hundred or five thousand years ago.

The Wealth of Human Capital
The eighth book is about the wealth of the human capital that humanity has today. A great deal of the human capital is taken for granted. This is a review of what we have today.

The Wealth of a Nation
The ninth book takes us to Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. A nation is an entity that comprises a geographical area with a legal setting. It is governed by a state that is the keeper of the citizen's charter. The state maintains the rules of a nation’s Social Capital and thus determines the capital structure of the nation and its citizens.

The Wealth of the Planet Earth
The tenth book is about our planet. It introduces the concept of Natural Capital. What we think of natural resources is actually the capitalization of life that has been happening for billions of years. Unfortunately, many of the actions that we do in the pursuit of wealth production reduce the planet’s natural capital. If the planet was treated as a capital asset, it would be maintained and it would not be consumed risking a drop of the whole world to a lower income level.

The Wealth of the Human Spirit
The eleventh book will be an inquiry about what of all these economic principles might mean in the spiritual world.

Fernando Urias

Fernando Urias is a process engineer with experience writing SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) to communicate the best business processes to a large number of people. To do this successfully, he reads books available in the subject, talks to people that perform the process, including operational folks and experts, and listens to the latest podcasts and YouTube videos. With this information, he writes what he thinks is the best practice. His professional experience has spilled over to his hobbies resulting in several book series. A Low Carbohydrate Lifestyle series: One of his hobbies is cooking and one of his objectives is to be healthy. This is has resulted in a series explaining a low carbohydrate lifestyle. Book 1: My Low Carb Story, Diet Book, Cookbook, and Shopping List. Book 2: My Low Carbohydrate Home Menu. Book 3: A Well-Engineered Diet and Cookbook. A Business Series: He uses several management tools professionally, some of them from the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt arsenal, which he will share in a business series. The first tool shared is a system to write and maintain action lists in paper, a smartphone, or a computer. He uses this tool to keep track of the things that need to get done to achieve stated objectives and at the same time keep stress low by having pending actions written instead of letting them linger in the mind causing mental stress. Book 1: The Automatic Time Management System The Wealth of the People Book Series: One of his hobbies is to study economic theory. He is interested in understanding the different levels of wealth of the nations of the world, specifically what explains the difference in wealth between Mexico and the United States of America, since he was born in the border. This has led him to write a series of books about the production of wealth. Book 1: Your Wealth Book 2: Your Neighbor's Wealth Book 3: The Wealth of the Market Book 4: The Wealth of the Business Enterprise Book 5: The Wealth of the State Book 6: The Wealth of Social Capital A Mexico Series: Fernando was very concerned with the results of the Mexican 2018 election results motivating him to attempt to find out why those results were obtained and to follow up the income per capita under the new government.

Introduction

I have been blessed with the experience of living in two countries. One is a wealthy country and the other is a country in development, which is a nice way to say that it is not wealthy. The one in development is older telling us right away that age is not a cause of wealth. I have experienced the contrast of the living, business, cultural, and political conditions in both countries and this experience has fueled a desire to try to explain the differences. This bicultural experience, an interest in economics, and an education in engineering might allow me to have a unique perspective on the subject.

The first book is about producing wealth in a desert island, just like Robinson Crusoe in Daniel Defoe's novel. Welcome to the first book.

Alone in an Island

Imagine that you are the sole survivor of a shipwreck in an island. Instead of having the benefits of the remains of the shipwreck as Robinson Crusoe had, all you have are the clothes that you are wearing. What would you have to do to
