The Rules of Capital
What the Wealthy Understand and Everyone Else Ignores
SYNOPSIS
The Discipline of Capital examines why capital so often fails to endure beyond its creator, and the judgement, structures and responsibilities required to carry it across generations.
Moving from ownership and governance to advisers, jurisdiction, loss and purpose, the manuscript presents stewardship not as passive preservation, but as the disciplined work of preparing capital, and those responsible for it to endure.
SYNOPSIS
The Rules of Capital examines the habits and misconceptions that shape financial outcomes: the difference between income and wealth, the force of uninterrupted compounding, false diversification, costs, patience, complexity, advice, risk and purpose.
Structured around ten rules, the manuscript presents a direct account of how capital is accumulated, protected and made to endure, without confusing income, appearances or financial complexity with genuine independence.
