Growth and Change Are Highly Overrated is a classic coming-of-age story that takes a unique and comic look at what we all fear— having to grow up and abandon our dreams.
For a charismatic man like Lucas James, life is a breeze because everyone else provides the wind. This man-child front man for a mediocre cover band has been mooching off of his fiancée Jackie for years until she finally decides she's had enough. Faced with the reality of having no income to support his carefree lifestyle, Lucas James abandons his principles and gets a job working in the stockroom at, “That Store.” How does he cope with this new found sense of responsibility?
He casually steals...
In a life spent bucking authority how will Lucas James deal with his manager, 'Victor the Dictator'? How long can he survive Ralph, a starry-eyed coworker who desires nothing more than to be best friends? Will Lori, a twenty-something cashier, be like everyone else and fall for his charms? Will he ever find a place to live? And is “growing up” just another way of saying “selling out?”
With this hilarious and engaging novel, author Tom Starita perfectly captures a character we have all met and perhaps some of us know all too well.

8yConsider how the response to trade relations with China took on a greater sense of urgency when the Chinese Communist Party began setting its sights on controlling strategically important industries in 2009. Prior to that, blue collar workers were losing jobs but this was "acceptable" because the broader benefits of global trade were thought to be more important. But, when companies began losing market share, a "populist" movement arose in which elites are now battling elites and drawing upon nationalist sentiment to support their "cause." I'd prefer to see the CCP abide by the multilateral, rules-based trading system established after WWII than a devolution into unilateral economic warfare to control the commanding heights of the global economy.
