Description
The American economy is
sliding under the rising tide of deficit spending. Can the next
generation of Sentinels reverse the downturn? Four years after the
bursting of the great consumer debt bubble, the country is dangerously
overleveraged and underemployed. The United States is quickly losing its
competitive edge against the goods-producing industries of China and
India. In an environment of stagnated government leadership, five highly
accomplished entrepreneurial leaders step forward. They hope to solve
the economic problems by implementing “Employ American,” a step-by-step
strategy designed to restore the competitiveness of American
manufacturers. Sovereign governments, offshore manufacturers, foreign
oil producers, and domestic power-generating utility companies are
threatened by the possible realization of the “Employ American” plan.
Their efforts to prevent the Sentinels from achieving their goal are
constantly, menacingly present. A Matter of Importance unfolds through
the drama of the evolving lives of each of the principal characters.
Romance, fear, victory, and disappointment are never very far away.
