About The Author

At 50 years + of age and with a coincidentally unique life's experience behind me that has been more syncopated than it has been in step with the beat of mainstream society I think you might find mine a totally unique perspective...

Personality wise, I have been profiled as an "objective thinker"-wow, the world could use some objectivity about now...

Basic and principle matters of economics and how they can deliver prosperity or poverty, depending on who controls them and how they exercise this control, has been an ongoing concern and interest of mine for over three decades now.

In His Love,
