Dear Rob

About the Book

We live in unique times, just as each individual is unique. In North America, the capitalist system plus democracy have given us unprecedented prosperity and cherished individual freedoms. However, we also face huge social inequalities and there seems to be an erosion of the general guidelines that secure and provide the cultural signposts as we go about our busy lives. Peek into the private world of an average uncle and his average nephew, as they explore these issues in their own lives. You might find something in there for yourself.
