HARDBACK
A heartfelt children’s book set in the Mallee. Farmer Don aims to show young people the resilience of family life in outback Australia.
Farmer Don lives on a wheat farm in a town called Ouyen. The farm has bushy trees, an old farm house, red dusty dirt, flat bits and hilly bits.
The story revolves around Michael Mansfield, a loyal and hard-working IT Sales Executive who strives to do the right thing by his company. For Michael, saving stupid people from themselves, navigating the constant back-stabbing within the business, and dealing with corporate political correctness gone mad has become a way of life.
This light-hearted tale of redemption will resonate with anyone who has experienced the sheer head-scratching absurdity that often exists within the modern business bubble.
Born and raised in Adelaide, Steve Eatts worked in the field of Information Technology for more than 30 years, in many different roles across both public and private sector organisations.

PAPERBACK
Why economic ideology is dangerous and how we can fight back.
The economics of socialism and neoliberalism are forever battling. One wrestles against state power while the other smashes away at the chains of corporate domination. What both sides wince to hear is that they share a similar ambition. A utopian vision.
These utopian dreams should be dreaded by all those forced to conform to its mandate. For what purpose is dissent in a perfect ideology? Such closed ended systems are rigid and fragile to criticism which is why proponents fight so vigorously against dissent.
Powerful groups have always found ways to hijack political power by aligning with dominant closed ended ideology. Once the reinforcing cycle of power begins it is difficult to arrest the momentum feeding its appetite for dominance. This accumulation of power is what makes utopian ideologies so dangerous.
It is time to dream of a social contract and empower it. People must see the reason in compromise, otherwise the only path that remains is one leading to two fiercely opposed camps where force prevails over reason.
