Capital Gains for All: A Story of Realizing The Need for a New Capitalism Kindle Edition

Jack Pfelton was doing what he thought was expected of him. He worked long hours in a senior role for a large, multi-national firm. His rise through corporate ranks seemed, in retrospect, more programmatic than inspired. Seldom had Jack had the opportunity to pause to question why things worked the way they did. Until one day, when Jack's life turned in a new direction.In the simplest sense, Jack went from from being at the top of his game, totally driven to succeed in his own career, to driving others on the path to success in their careers. In making that transition, Jack became acutely aware of the disparities in wealth and power that, in its current, poorly regulated form, American capitalism has both enabled and tolerated.Jack finds himself increasingly frustrated by the shortcomings and glaring inequities that characterize our current economy. While stopping short of shouting "Come the Revolution!" in the corporate lunchroom, Jack becomes focused on researching how the situation might be improved upon and what groups he might support to help make that happen. In the process, Jack finds a kindred spirit in his co-worker Hayley.

That is when they realize that what the country needs is a new socio-economic model to create "capital gains for all". And that changes everything. Read more
