Welcome! I am a Rust Belt native who grew up watching a way of life and an economy slowly fall apart around me. Convinced that my father’s pessimism about the industrial economy was wrong, I grew up to become a futurist, an entrepreneur, and a business coach, all fields that deal with creating new kinds of economic activity. Our painful economic decline is also the opening chapter on a new era.
Resilience covers economic transition at all levels: forecasts for the shape of the economy to come, the financial meltdown and government action to soften its impact; individuals, firms, and nonprofits creating the new face of capitalism; emerging and declining business models; and pragmatic strategies for financial stability through difficult times. I cover how this transition affects your investment and personal finance issues. I also post coping strategies for individuals who bear the stress of the wrenching changes taking place in our economy.
I hope you find Resilience worthy of your attention. I look forward to dialogue with you as we all work to understand what is happening and act wisely in the face of it.
