Author Says Solution to Great Recession is SWIFT Act Petition for Permanent Recovery

CHANDLER, Ariz. - March 12, 2017 - PRLog -- Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, Marshall had the idea of writing a book about the economy, based on talking to the reader in plain English. He believes that if people can understand what's wrong with the economy, they will join together to fix it.

"SWIFT Act" could not have come at a better time.  With the most controversial election in U.S. history taking place last year, Americans should arm themselves with the knowledge and understanding in this book.  The first portion of the book provides a holistic view of the economy in simple, short, easy-to-read sentences.  In the same style of writing, the remainder of the book covers specific proposals that provide a road map to long term recovery.

"SWIFT Act," is not just a book.  In an effort to empower people, Marshall uses the book as a platform for action through his non-profit, SWIFT Act Alliance (www.swiftact.org).  The proposals in the book form the basis for the SWIFT Act petition.  The idea is to force politicians to consider a non-partisan plan for recovery, based on reforming the financial sector and investing in manufacturing.

"There are two things I believe that define me at my very core: Knowledge is power; only the powerless are truly innocent." Marshall said in an interview. That belief has led him not only to devote himself to the SWIFT Act movement, but also to donate all the proceeds from his books to the non-profit.  He leads by example in promoting the belief quoted on the SWIFT Act letterhead: "Our individual actions are collective; Our collective actions are cumulative."
