The United States’ political system has fractured into multiple tribal groups. A federal budget hasn’t been passed in years, and presidents are routinely impeached during their first month in office. States have closed their borders and thumbed their collective noses at the federal government. The country is running on fumes, and foreign powers know it. It seems it’s only a matter of time before the great experiment of the United States of America is no more. The only question is, how many states will be absorbed into foreign empires? Against this backdrop, four individuals, a newly elected US Senator, the first illegal resident selected as a state governor, and a newlywed couple looking for a better life, unknowingly confront foreign agents, a cartel backed terrorist group, kidnappers, and an unknown murderer in their fight to save the country. Will they succeed? Or will their efforts be the last gasp of themselves – and of the country they love?
Professor Dia Fenner is on a sabbatical leave at Duke University studying the best way for retirees to invest their money. There's a personal reason for her work - her mother Ava was fleeced of her retirement savings by an unscrupulous financial adviser. But someone wants to stop Dia - first by stealing her data and then by threatening her life. But who's the culprit - the New York bank CEO, the politically ambitious State Treasurer, the leader of the state's financial advisers, or maybe her new boyfriend? With the help of two bright and loyal Duke students, Dia vows to trap the crook and finish her research. But is too much at stake for her to succeed? Readers will find the answers at the same time they learn about the ins and outs of the investment world.
Economist Dia Fenner has settled down in Raleigh, North Carolina with her husband Ethan and infant daughter Ava. She is now the fiscal adviser to the new Libertarian Governor of North Carolina. When the Governor proposes an ambitious plan to simplify taxes, lower rates, and eliminate tax perks to certain groups, she puts Dia in charge of selling the plan to the public and pushing it through the General Assembly. Yet immediately there is strong pushback from those who will lose their tax favors. At the same time that Dia is fighting the Governor’s opponents, she has to deal with an ex-boyfriend who has arrived to win her back. How far will opponents go to stop the Governor’s plan? Could they go as far as murder? Are Dia and even her family at risk? And, will Dia have to fight her own feelings to save her marriage? Are all these challenges too much, even for the resourceful Dia Fenner?
At a time when North Carolina's population is exploding and its economy is shifting profoundly, one of the state's leading economists applies the tools of his trade to chronicle these changes and to inform North Carolinians in easy-to-understand terms what to expect in the future. Today we are living in a technologically connected age that has completely transformed the North Carolina economy, Walden explains. Once driven by tobacco, textiles, and furniture, the North Carolina economy now thrives on technology, pharmaceuticals, finance, food processing, and the manufacture of vehicle parts. While the state as a whole has benefited from these dramatic transformations, some population groups and regions have not experienced consistent economic growth. Walden identifies education as the key factor; a skilled, college-educated work force, he argues, is now a region's most prized commodity. Walden traces how the forces of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have remade the North Carolina economy, impacted people and regions, and led to the most substantive public policy debates in decades. Written in a lively style and including original research and insights, North Carolina in the Connected Age is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand how the state arrived where it is today and what its future might hold.
