Nexus Companies and a Reimagined US Economy: Revitalizing the US Economy in 5D by Shaun Sterling

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1977289290

What if the next phase of economic growth is not driven by a single innovation, but by how everything connects?

This book introduces the concept of the Nexus company ecosystem, a new framework for understanding and shaping the future of business, labor, and economic policy. At its core is the idea that productivity, opportunity, and long-term growth depend not only on individual industries or technologies, but on how effectively they are coordinated.

Rather than focusing on economic decline or inequality alone, this work offers a constructive and forward-looking alternative. It outlines how businesses, governments, and workers can align through emerging models that integrate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence with evolving workforce systems, education pathways, and infrastructure development. Nexus companies act as the central connectors in this system, linking talent, capital, and opportunity in ways that increase efficiency and unlock new forms of value creation.

The book also introduces innovative financial structures such as Special Infrastructure Investment Vehicles, designed to attract private capital into critical infrastructure while improving execution and long-term returns. These mechanisms, combined with policy frameworks and workforce development strategies, provide a practical roadmap for revitalizing economic growth.

Drawing on real-world experience across multiple industries, the author presents a systems-level perspective on how economic evolution can be guided rather than passively experienced. The result is a pragmatic yet hopeful vision of the future, one in which technological advancement enhances human potential instead of displacing it.

For business leaders, policymakers, economists, and anyone concerned about the direction of the modern economy, this book offers both insight and direction. It is a call to actively shape the next era of economic development, ensuring that growth is not only sustained but broadly shared.

The Israeli: A Work of Historical Fiction by Phillip Kurata

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYQ7CTRC

The Israeli: A Work of Historical Fiction – This page-turning tale, based loosely on the life of legendary Israeli spy Eli Cohen, explores the terrible effects of ethnic hatred on individuals, peoples and nations.

As a new, free Egypt emerges from British colonial rule after World War Two, Eli Cohen, an Egyptian Jew, ignores his mother’s warnings and tries to enlist in the Egyptian army. He is shouted out of the enlistment office as an insidious Jew. Later, his closest friend, Sami Azar, is executed by the Nasser regime for participating in a Zionist bombing campaign aimed at thwarting British plans to turn over ownership of the Suez Canal to Egypt. These events turn Cohen into a fervent Zionist and hater of Arabs.

The Israeli tracks Cohen’s rise as a top Israeli spy, from his resettlement in Israel, his marriage to the beautiful intelligent Nadia and his recruitment and training by the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service. He infiltrates into an unstable Syria where he becomes part of the country’s political and military power structure that is bent on destroying Israel. Soon he finds himself under consideration for deputy defense minister.

It is early in the morning during the second week of elk hunting season in Montana as Harold Hendricks leaves a note for his sleeping wife, Shayla, and heads out on a solo bowhunting excursion into the woods. But when he spontaneously decides to change direction and hunt in another location, Harold has no idea of the implications of his choice.

A few hours later, Harold sustains an accident that leaves him momentarily unconscious and severely crippled. When he regains consciousness, he realizes he is alone in the mountains of Montana unable to summon help, and in life threatening circumstances. As his time in the mountains drags on, his loved ones embark on a desperate search to find him. And Harold finds himself on his own trip that he has no control over—a trip of beauty and wonder that is also more terrifying than any trip he has taken before. In the course of this trip, Harold searches for a loving God to help him amidst his suffering, his fear, and his troubled relationships at home and at work. Will he find the answers he seeks, and will his family find him before it is too late?

In this inspirational novel, an attorney must grapple with his complicated feelings about God after a hunting accident leaves him injured and without much hope in the mountains of Montana.
