New Indie Book Release:
Exporting Prosperity: Why the U.S. Economy may never recover... - James H. Boudreau
Business / Economics / Society (October 2013)
The traditional media chooses not to discuss the statistic that reflect economic life for the average American, nor the forces at work that have reduced their standard of living for more than 20 years. This book examines those statistics and points to causes and effects that cannot be ignored, but somehow are…and that could prevent the U.S. Economy from every returning to past levels of prosperity.

Exporting Prosperity explores the statistics that actually drive many aspects of the economy, in sharp contrast to the “feel-good” numbers reported each day. Rather than speculate on the future using traditional measures of the stock market, interest rates, etc., it starts with the statistic that people feel directly – jobs (or lack thereof). The author explores the relationship between unemployment, the trade deficit and other key measures of the economy. He spreads the responsibility for the country’s challenges equally and presents ideas to get back on track, some old, some new, some radical and some sensical. Intermingled with the numbers are anecdotes and a sense of humor, making the book entertaining as well as enlightening.

He grew up with stories of his father growing up during the Great Depression and was taught the value of hard work from an early age. In building his own company he had to make numerous sacrifices to keep people employed and has first-hand experience trying to survive with increasing costs, decreasing revenue and little or no capital available.
Despite these challenges, he has persevered and the passion it took to keep a small business alive have made it onto these pages, along with a sense of humor that has preserved his sanity.
