Rising Middle Class: Your Future In Pieces
The Brutal Truth: How Ageism And Income Inequality Are Destroying America
By Vinay Singh
Here's what the book is about:
There is desperate need to save ourselves and generations that follow from the ongoing demise of the American workforce perpetrated by unmitigated greed, and the complete disregard for a dilemma facing millions of Americans right now.
Singh brings his passion to the pages as he delves into under-employment, wage suppression, age discrimination and CEO compensation. Supported by facts and figures from in-depth research, Singh provides an eye-opening account of the current crisis facing the future of the American workforce.
Your Future in Pieces is a must read for all Americans who worry about paying bills, sending children to college and retiring comfortably with dignity. It is also a must read for all corporate professionals and graduating college students.
Notes From The Author:
With all of the problems that are based on decades of Wage Stagnation and Discrimination, with Ageism (Age Discrimination) now growing into an epidemic, I found it necessary to write this book that will shine light on covered up problems that plague our country's corporate culture and society in general.
Age Discrimination is not about older people today - it has grown into a Multi-Generational issue that now Ageism effects all ages in the 21st Century. America's Wage Inequality is one of the highest growing dilemma's facing the nation today.
I am actively working to bring the awareness of these issues as Societal Root Causes for the massive outcomes that manifest as mental and physical human distress. After years of being in the trenches of corporate human resources and talent acquisition, taking the past 2 years digging into research as well, I want to propose alternative solutions from various angles that the entire society can take part in - so everyone can have a voice.
In closing, I think it is that right of not only every American but every human being to have a blissful life and ability to make an honest living. These issues have to be addressed NOW as we are at a tipping point - we can have the American Dream back.
While Loukas is playing his flute at the seawall one day, he befriends a mysterious talking, dancing snake that rewards him with fortune and favor. Some years later, tempted by greed and pride, Loukas loses all his riches and his family. He must now set off on a treacherous journey through a frightening forest filled with suspense and strange creatures to find Destiny, her son Ilion, the Sun, and her daughter Luna, the Moon. These celestial guardians will surely allow him to reverse his misfortune, restore his honor, and win back all that he loves and treasures, won't they?
A reimagined Greek folktale, Loukas and the Game of Chance is illuminated with dramatic and evocative pen and ink drawings that provide an ideal backdrop for the dark intrigue that fills this haunting story of human struggle, courage, and resilience.
When the prestigious law firm of Wayne, Rothstein, and Lincoln catches two major cases--a rape case against a white NBA star who allegedly raped a black stripper, and a murder case against a black rapper who allegedly killed a gay couple and two policemen--Bill O'Neil and Ben Turner are tasked with handling these racially charged litigations. The cases hit emotional chords with the two lawyers and force them to reckon with their interracial relationships and families. Will the racial tension of their cases destroy them . . . or make them stronger?
Cry ‘havoc!’, and let slip the dogs of war.
After its great victories in Anatolia, the mercenary Catalan Company has been grossly betrayed by its paymasters. Now cornered on the Gallipoli Peninsula, the Byzantine emperor is determined to wipe it out for good.
But the Catalan dogs of war have other ideas, none more so than Luca Baldi, now a hero among his comrades and a young man who thirsts for battle and glory.
The Byzantines have a assembled a great army to crush the Catalan mercenaries and afterwards wage a crusade against the Muslim Turks in Anatolia.
The stage is set for a battle that will decide the fate of Luca Baldi, the Catalan Company and the Byzantine Empire, which will echo down the ages.
‘The White Dragon’ is the second volume in the Catalan Chronicles, a Medieval saga set in the early 14th century. Maps of the Byzantine Empire and western Anatolia at this time can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com

The youth of the world have finally taken over in the futuristic SciFi adventure novel, LIFE IN 2050, by Jim Musgrave. In Musgrave's novel, old folks don't die from viruses; they get forced into a permanent dementia state to die. In Big Bro's dystopian world, citizens over 40 are given surgeries to see in black and white and to prepare them for early death.
Short Listed in the Cygnus Best SciFi Awards, 2016.
The Young Socialist Libertarians took over after the old order was defeated in the World Revolution of 2028. The elderly were now seen as a hindrance to present peace and prosperity. They carry disease, are non-productive, and they are remembered for the past generations of wars, greed, and famine.
William must save his parents and family, who have been separated. This is a world, he discovers, where getting social security has become a reality show fight to the death, and prostitutes are "safe sex" androids. Who's behind Big Bro, and what will become of people of color and William's family? Read LIFE IN 2050.
Up ahead stood the tall skyscraper—the only one allowed—of the Young Socialists’ Ministry of Mindfulness. This was where William worked, and it was also broadcasting the libertarian message of the party, in ten-foot letters, running every ten seconds across the huge digital banner in front of the building:
