“I believe everyone is a born entrepreneur. Some people choose the entrepreneurial path early, others as grey entrepreneurs, some are better than others, and many choose not to pursue entrepreneurship. Others are entrepreneurial and then go to school and are taught to get jobs.”

 

Paul Clargaux — The Strategy Paradox

BIO

Paul Clargaux

A relentless quest. A body of work that pushes entrepreneurship back 4,600 years. And the question nobody asked for two hundred years.

THE BEGINING OF SOMETHING

Paul Clargaux swept floors in Woolworths. He joined the merchant navy for free travel. He bought his first house at eighteen and rented it out while he was away at sea. He worked in furniture sales and operations, managed a 26,000 square foot department store without any business qualifications, and then — through a credit crunch, a recession, a depression, austerity, redundancy, a pandemic, and an Uber cab — wrote more than thirty books on the theory of entrepreneurship.

ENGINEERING AND CHEMISTRY

The geopolymer hypothesis, first proposed by materials scientist Joseph Davidovits in 1988, suggests that the limestone blocks of the Great Pyramid were not quarried and transported as monolithic stones but cast in place using a form of ancient concrete — a mixture of limestone aggregate, Nile water, natron, and kaolinite that when properly prepared produces a material chemically indistinguishable from natural limestone. This hypothesis eliminates the copper tool impossibility entirely. It also explains features of the pyramid’s construction that the orthodox account cannot: the extreme precision of block fitting, the absence of quarry marks on many internal blocks, and the logistics of placing 340 blocks per day for twenty years.
