Henry Goodstone

Henry Goodstone is a writer splitting time between Athens, Georgia and Waihi Beach, New Zealand. He writes about economics, politics, and the gap between how systems are supposed to work and how they actually do.

His work is built on a single conviction: that most of the problems that feel permanent are actually specific, sourced, and fixable. If someone is willing to do the work of showing exactly where the money goes, who benefits, and what changes when it stops.

He has lived in the United States for thirty years and has watched the country he chose and loves, make preventable decisions at enormous preventable cost. The books and the plan are his contribution to changing that.

“Reset the system. Prosper America.”
