A delightful read

No Gravatar

I haven’t written about a book I’ve read in a long time.

That’s despite me reading two or three books simultaneously (one or two from the fiction, one or two from the non-fiction, and one from the religious categories- plus listening an Audible book (light story, delightful to accompany my driving.)  I admit that for the past three years, my participation in the Audible segment has been furloughed, since I wasn’t able to drive for nearly three years, until my son’s birthday, this past 4th of July.

I’ve written before how much computers are critical in our lives and work.  And, how much they’ve changed since I started my career. From my shoeboxes carrying Hollerith Cards fed to a computer almost as large as my living room (designing a pyrolysis unit) to my PDP computer (enzymatic production of a new form of penicillin) to my Osborne (water reuse systems, QC for medical products) to my AT&T (clinical trials) to my current systems (WebOS tablet, Intel7 laptop, and 8 processor Itanium server).

We now have seen how Americans with incomes at the top 1% control the wealth of America.  We have now seen how the top 1% of the world’s income earner’s do likewise for the world.  And, we have seen how it’s just a few companies that control the bulk of the world’s wealth and sales turnover. And, none of these are really the folks that do the bulk of the hiring.  Oh, and the middle class is disappearing from the US- which is the source of political stability and one of the prime drivers to turn our economy around. [These posts are here, here, here, here, here, and here.]

Oligarchy Defined

Before I turn this series onto a focus on entrepreneurial ventures, which serve as the primary means the world has to exit the Great Recession, let’s review whether Occupy Wall Street is wrong in their annoyances.  Two factors will be examined- people and corporations (you know, those artificial citizens).

American Dream 2.0

We watched the “Arab Spring” events that began to crawl across the globe in February.  The broad demonstrations against the oligarchies that were running their countries took our breath away.  That was true whether you were from the right, the left, or the middle of the political spectrum.
