   Author George Ure's latest books... 

Next Book:  Due Late May 2013

"Real Time Machines: The Future is an App" which discusses the evolution of time machines from science fiction to the current frontiers of science including Clif High's www.halfpasthuman.com predictive linguistics project and his own involvement in development of the Nostracodeus (www.nostracodeus.com) software project.

Website History

This site began in 1997 as a capstone project in George's MBA program capstone and sort of took on a life of its own.

The site focuses on a field called Longwave Economic and gets seriously into the 40-90 years cycles in technology and economics that seem to drive a lot more human events than most folks realize.

Of course, since the web bot project coverage began in 2001, the site has also been the thought leader in public descriptions and applications of predictive linguistics since 2001.  If someone says predictive linguistics was invented in 2006 (as one academic claimed) he's full of crap and you can visit the web archives yourself if you doubt it...

Awards

A few - including this one:

Somehow, the Nobel Economics crowd has managed to overlook my site again for this year's award.

If you wouldn't mind, could you drop them a note and put in a word for me?

Philosophy

Capitalism - American Style is a generally good thing.  BUT there are a few problems that keep getting swept under the rug that we really need to come to terms with and this site aims to get people questioning some of the basic paradigm kinds of things that can keep the world from exploiting itself to death.

Main problems to fix right now include:

• Reduce concentration of wealth in the 1 Percent so the 99'ers can eat.

• Admit that you can't print money and call it an economic recovery.

• Admit to the reality of consumer supersaturation and come up with new solutions other than a new phone...

• Oh...yeah...the biggest one of all:  Stop the jobjacks to Asia, start teaching shop and ag classes in America and tax foreign made products enough to pay the cost of the 99ers!

Enjoy the site!
