Tell us a little bit about yourself. How did you get into writing?

I did not like writing per se, but I felt a responsibility to clarify a few things that are being ignored at our peril. I’d like to show that by now, in the economic understanding by governments, the science of macro-economy, and its necessary insight, are being totally forgotten and ignored, with the now well-known demonstrable catastrophic results.  But I am afraid too, that such a clear warning is likely to be totally ignored as well.

What inspired you to write your book? 

Inspiration came through the really wonderful theory by John Maynard Keynes, called ’The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money’. This has been an absolute eye opener, for me like for so many others. It made for a clear sky of understanding. I believe the Iranian leaders, deeply furious at president Trump as I think they are, will be using the huge leverage they have with playing the Straight of Hormuz, and a few other factors, to string the American President along and hinder him till the mid-term US elections. I would predict there will be no accord before the mid-terms.

What theme or message do you hope readers will take away from your book?

I hope my readers will read with pleasure – because it enlightens something for them that was previously unclear – what was the American error that started free trade with China, as well as why this free trade is so harmful to our economies. In other words I hope to bring a revealing shaft of light into insight on this subject that is still being kept murky by other writers, thinkers and journalists.

What drew you into this particular genre?

While it has been a huge social disadvantage, because it isolated me, having an exceptional high IQ also gave me small advantages. That is, one understands a few things with clarity, and it is my wish to share those happy understandings with others that drew me to writing this book.

What social media site has been the most helpful in developing your readership?

None, as yet, except just for the internet.

What advice would you give to aspiring or just starting authors out there?

It is: Against all odds coming your way, never, never, never give up!

What does the future hold in store for you? Any new books/projects on the horizon?

Well, yes, probably.
