Best-selling author John R. Talbott, widely regarded as one
of the first to predict the current housing and mortgage
crisis, turns his attention to the economic possibilities
achievable under a Barack Obama presidency. Obama's greatest
strength is his ability to bring the country together. For
too long divisions among races, religions, political views,
cultures, genders, and sexual preferences have prevented
Americans from coming together to solve the most important
problems of our generation. Global warming, lobbying reform,
poverty, health care, wars, terrorism, education, housing
and banking reform, and energy and water shortages-these are
complex global problems that Talbott argues cannot be left
to the free market business world or governments to
solve. Once emphasis is placed on citizen involvement,
real solutions become apparent to our most pressing
problems. A completely laissez-faire world of unregulated
markets and uncontrolled globalization can be returned to a
properly regulated free market that responds to the voice of
a democratic people. And the American values of goodness,
justice, and fairness to all Americans reflected in this
young man of Africa and Kansas can once again be
incorporated into our economic and financial system. A
former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, John R.
Talbott is the author of four books on economics and
politics, including The Coming Crash in the Housing
Market. He has appeared on CNN, Fox News, CNBC, and CBS
Marketwatch and has written for The Wall Street
Journal, the Financial Times, and The Boston
Globe.
