Our coming world

The author weaves a personal memoir with a broad‑scale critique of the economic structures that shape our lives. Drawing on decades of experience as a speculator, businessman, and observer of history’s darkest chapters, he offers a candid, often stark, assessment of how profit‑driven systems can clash with humanity’s innate compassion. With a tone that feels both humble and urgent, he proposes a thoughtful, if unconventional, remedy that seeks to restore balance without sparking social upheaval.

Against this backdrop, the narrative follows a chance encounter on a New York park bench, where the narrator befriends a solitary young man named Fred Balmore. Fred, haunted by family expectations, a revoked pilot’s license, and a recent stint in an asylum, hints at a desperate yearning to reclaim his freedom—culminating in a reckless dash into a dormant bomber at a government airfield. Their evolving conversation becomes a window into the personal toll of a flawed system, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of redemption and societal change.
