About the book: 2019 / Do not believe that pirate society consisted entirely of scoundrels who enjoyed robbery, torture and murder. The Golden Age of Piracy saw the rise of stars that glowed with fearless defiance and a clear commitment to justice and equality. An expert in the field of social entrepreneurship, an independent consultant on strategic management of Facebook, Google, BBC, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, PlayStation, Red Bull, Dyson and other major global brands, Sam Conniff Allende reveals the true history of piracy, describing the techniques and methods of Henry Avery, Bartholomew Roberts, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Henry Morgan, Sam Bellamy, Edward Teach, nicknamed Blackbeard, and other filibusters. Similar methods have been adopted by modern pirates - from Elon Musk, Steve Jobs and the creators of blockchain technology to Banksy and rap and hip artists -hop. They have achieved incredible success by unafraid to challenge the world. “Piracy will bring out the best in you, but only you know what that best is.” (Sam Conniff Allende)
