VIRTUE IN FREE ENTERPRISE | WEALTH CREATION WITH EQUITY 

Forward Economics: A Pathway to a More Perfect Union

We must go beyond mere conversations about reforming capitalism to create an American economy of shared abundance, stability, continuous innovation, and environmental stewardship. Ordinary citizens like you and I can start a movement that, over time, will effect big changes that will completely reorganize our broken economic system and keep our nation strong. By implementing a better model of free-enterprise, we can finally move from our current win-lose market economy to one that builds better, more virtuous businesses and unstoppable, positive change - for all of us. This is all based on a powerful, immutable truth: virtue is far more powerful than greed.  Like our Founders before us, we can design a better system, by leveraging American virtue and ingenuity for the betterment of all.

Let’s Face It—Our Economy is Backward

Markets are brilliant when done right.  But right now, our economy is a win-lose proposition where shareholders and elites are winning, and workers, everyday Americans, our political system, and the natural world are losing.  

In the short term, the winners win. But in the long term, it’s risky for all players. We’re seeing large cracks forming now, including political dysfunction, growth in big government, out-of-control inequality, lack of affordability, financial crises, environmental degradation…the list goes on.

We Can Create an Economy Where Everyone Wins

The good news is that it’s possible to replace our win-lose economy with an everybody-wins model in a steady, step-by-step process. This new economy will create and distribute wealth at rates much higher than possible today, raising everyone in an ever-rising tide of prosperity—from the janitor to the clerk to the CEO.  This can be done while preserving all the good things about our private market economy, while leaving the bad behind.  

 

If designed right, this new economy will shrink the size of government, spread democracy, and heal the Earth at the same time.  

 

We can create this system through a revolution (which is hard, risky, and without a guarantee of what you’ll get) or through a series of deliberate, targeted improvements that grow in power over time. 

If we get it right, we can slowly change our system so that future generations will have a far more livable, sustainable, wealth-sharing system (and planet) to live on. One that will keep our America strong, prosperous, and let us relax, play, sing, dance, and spend more time with friends and family.

​That’s what this book, Forward Economics, is all about.

The book presents a new, virtues-based business model—the pay-it-forward business—where companies do three essential things, without fail: 1) re-invest their profits back into the economy, 2) share profits among the workforce, and 2) give to noble causes.  Due to a series of intrinsic competitive advantages, they will grow, prosper, and replicate over time.  Step by step, a new economy can be built that—by design—shares wealth broadly, nurtures and sustains our families, keeps the nation and our military strong, and self-organizes to solve our most pressing problems.

 

If this sounds too good to be true, think again. By tracing out what changes as our economy becomes more innovative, powerful, and wealth-sharing, a new (and more accurate) way of thinking about our world and our problems is revealed. The true causes and effects. Because without a proper diagnosis, we'll never get anywhere. We'll only treat the symptoms and never get to the root of the problem to create an effective and lasting cure. 

After reading this book, I hope you'll share the core ideas with friends and relatives and start taking steps to put the forward economic model in place through estate planning or even more direct action. 

Ultimately, I hope Forward Economics gives you hope and inspiration to act.

If you care about our nation and American democracy and are willing to do something about making the world a better place, this book lays out a direct pathway to take action that our society has never pursued before. 

We can start a process of positive, unstoppable change if we join together and act right now.
