Bay Jordan shares the unease many people feel with the current directions the world is going. Inequality seems to increase, real action to tackle issues like the environment looks too little in scope. Faith in governments and financial institutions has been hit hard by recent crises. He seeks to analyse what has gone wrong and then makes strong suggestions about what needs to happen for things to improve.

He starts from a perspective of our each having a mission and purpose. He feels that lack of responsibility has resulted from a misplaced search for equality, and that people have achieved the opposite of what they were trying to do. Some may find the message provocative but at least the author is not trying to please everybody or hide behind obfuscation. You certainly know what he thinks and I found this directness refreshing. He is not afraid to suggest simple and direct actions to rectify the world and get things back on track.

Bay Jordan originally hails from what is now Zimbabwe and has lived in South Africa, Canada and now the UK. No doubt some of his directness comes from his early years. Whether you agree with him or not, certainly his message that if we all leave it to someone else then things won't get better, so his call to action is timely no matter what your political leanings.
