Globalization

This book describes the positive as well as the negative things that have attributed to the new challenges the American economy and its people must now face as a world leader and society, which are due in large part to the advances that have been made in technology in recent history, and how these changes are affecting global economies and indigenous peoples and their governance in the free world. This book also reviews and discusses the underlying impact of a dysfunctional system of education on America's children and their ability to compete on a global scale with more sophisticated competitors in the free world.

I am not a historian. I am simply an American citizen who grew up in Brooklyn, New York after my birth in the state of Virginia. My family, African-Americans from the south, decided to leave a life of farming and despair to move to New York to start anew, with nine children; three girls, six boys, and mother and father, who firmly believed that they could make a better life for all their family members. As the exception to the rule, I finished high school along with my brothers and sisters, and went on to college where I earned degrees in business and in law. This enabled me to become an officer and manager in the banking industry, where I served over twenty eight years. In addition I served a number of years as a businessman, served in state government, and served in the regular Army of the U.S. I have written other books on business and banking that were published by and for the banking community as training and management material. I am currently working on a series of business books which will be introduced to members of the business community as a source of training for new small business owners and entrepreneurs.
