Robert J. Morton (robmorton@clara.net) is a software developer, systems analyst and programmer who is also a technical writer. He worked in the IT industry for over 25 years. Through age prejudice exacerbated by other circumstances Rob became long-term unemployed and has had to live on welfare since 1991. This fired him to turn his skills to an incisive analysis of the society in which he lives - the subject of his book and poems.

This book first delivers a damning indictment against capitalism for the unjustifiable poverty it has inflicted upon the inhabitants of Planet Earth. It then ventures a suggestion for a better and fairer way of turning work into wealth, based on an alternative concept of family and community which is neither capitalist nor socialist. For all truly to have equal opportunity, all must have equal means with which to realise opportunity. Full version both on-line and as a free download.
