Uncover the
Ancient Secrets of Prosperity
Our financial system is broken, fueling greed and extreme wealth inequality. The wealthy shape laws for their own gain, while money flows to unproductive markets. They evade taxes and hide profits offshore, leaving farmers burdened by debt and landless.
But this isn’t a modern problem—it mirrors challenges faced by ancient civilizations. Can we learn from their successes and failures to build a fairer world?
Join us for an exclusive interview with Prof. Hudson, author of the new book Temples of Enterprise. Hudson’s research sheds light on how early societies balanced economic growth, fairness, and stability—and how we can apply these principles today to combat inequality, debt, and greed.

About the Book
In Temples of Enterprise, Hudson explores the origins of money, land tenure, and urban development through the lens of ancient administrators. Key themes include:
