The Nearly Perfect Storm: An American Financial and Social Failure

Uyless Black’s diverse background as a software programmer, a Federal Reserve officer, a military man, and a business owner has given him a unique perspective and vantage point on the subjects of the book. He was a Senior Vice President for the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, an Assistant Director, and the Ombudsman for the Federal Reserve Board. He designed and wrote code for the first automated system that simulated the U.S. money supply. His software was used by the Federal Open Market Committee to regulate the money supply of the nation. He was the founder of three data communications network consulting firms, became an international lecturer, and wrote thirty-five books on the emerging Internet technology with several published in other languages. In 2002 Mr. Black left the world of computer networks and has since written several more books and hundreds of articles on subjects ranging from politics and warfare to satire on public figures. For this past decade, he has devoted himself to investigating and reporting on the social, political, and financial climate of America.
