Book Description
The aim of this book is to explore and reveal how people can turn FIFO into an extraordinary experience. Along the journey, it explores the lifestyle, the potential causes of mental illness, the many opportunities for great achievement and happiness, and a formula for making it work. Everyone who engages in FIFO work, whether it be for a few years or an entire career, gets to make the most of it and to make it a most loved part of their life.In the FIFO system, companies transport workers to and from the site in great comfort, they provide comfortable and private accommodation, plenty of freshly prepared food, recreational facilities, internet access, excellent pay, perhaps the safest working conditions in the world and they are governed by fair and equitable laws.On the other hand, FIFO work does not guarantee long term job security. Markets fluctuate, mineral deposits, oil reserves diminish, large infrastructure projects finish, economies often slow down, and demand often changes. Some projects have a definite length, like construction jobs, while others are subject to these oft-unpredictable factors.All of this means that working FIFO can be unpredictable and lacking in security. It can mean months off work with no pay, losing money on real estate investments and being forced to relocate to different parts of the country. It can be a rocky ride.This book looks at the "nitty gritty" of FIFO whilst keeping an eye on a much bigger picture. It helps the reader prepare for FIFO work and life so that they can optimise their experience, whether they are going solo, leaving a family, or if they are the partner or family member left at home.

Book Description
Conventional theories of capitalism are mired in a deep crisis: after centuries of debate, they are still unable to tell us what capital is. Liberals and Marxists both think of capital as an ‘economic’ entity that they count in universal units of ‘utils’ or ‘abstract labour’, respectively. But these units are totally fictitious. Nobody has ever been able to observe or measure them, and for a good reason: they don’t exist. Since liberalism and Marxism depend on these non-existing units, their theories hang in suspension. They cannot explain the process that matters most – the accumulation of capital. This book offers a radical alternative. According to the authors, capital is not a narrow economic entity, but a symbolic quantification of power. It has little to do with utility or abstract labour, and it extends far beyond machines and production lines. Capital, the authors claim, represents the organized power of dominant capital groups to reshape – or creorder – their society. Written in simple language, accessible to lay readers and experts alike, the book develops a novel political economy. It takes the reader through the history, assumptions and limitations of mainstream economics and its associated theories of politics. It examines the evolution of Marxist thinking on accumulation and the state. And it articulates an innovative theory of ‘capital as power’ and a new history of the ‘capitalist mode of power’.
