Due to a family medical issue (no cause for alarm, everything's fine), and final rough-drafting of the book I've been working on with Dr. Ryan Mattson, Inequality by Design: How a Rigged Economy Fractures America and What We Can Do About It, I haven't had time to put together a presentable blog post in my History of the Future series.
But that's burying the lede a bit, isn't it? |
| The lede. Not buried. |
You read that right; Ryan and I wrapped up the working draft of a book set to be published by Upriver Press in spring of 2025! We still have a ways to go, with the line edits, proofreading and typesetting still ahead of us, but the book really has rounded into shape nicely. As the publication date gets firmed up, I will start posting about the book, and the topics it covers.
To put it briefly, we're writing about how economic inequality in the United States is much worse that one might think at first glance. Don't run away screaming though! While the subject of the book can get a bit depressing, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And no, the light is not an oncoming train. I'm a firm believer in lighting candles rather than cursing the darkness, so we offer both diagnosis of the problem rooted in macroeconomics, and offer potential solutions for both people and policymakers.
When the History of the Future posts starts up again next week, we will go on a walk. Or more specifically, a wandering. A folk wandering, with the millions who, in the near future, will have to pack up everything and move to higher ground.

| Hmm... Maybe not THAT light in the darkness.... Our book does come with a Lord of the Rings reference or two, though! |
