Autor

The author is a World War II veteran who brought back to the US a French war bride. A native Texan, he pursued his graduate studies at Columbia University in New York. He was an economics instructor at the University of Texas at El Paso. Employed by an American oil and gas company, he was transferred to France in 1960 where he later became the CEO of the French subsidiary. He resided in France until 1982 with his wife and three children. He returned to the US with a great admiration for the culture and people of France and a more than theoretical knowledge of how the European model works. This permits him to compare the European and American models and the mindset of American liberals and European socialists.
