Baton Rouge Financial & Real Estate Consultant Knows the Solutions to America’s Present Economic Woes

BATON ROUGE - When the extent of the U.S. economic collapse began to unfold three years ago, Pete Goff, Jr., wasn’t surprised. He’d been watching it closely for some time. From the inside.

“From my perspective it was like watching a car crash in slow motion,” Goff said. “I saw it happening but was not in a position to prevent it.” Goff decided he must take action.

He began an obsessive study of macro economics. Armed with degrees in Business Administration and Accounting from LSU and more than 25 years of experience as a lender, builder, and development consultant, Goff has a solid grasp of the economy---finance, accounting, and fiscal policy.

Now his analysis of our economic problems, complete with solutions, are ready to be made public. “The solutions are not simple, but they’re achievable,” Goff said recently. The Inevitable Path, from beginning to end, is an honest assessment of America’s economic problems, the mistakes that caused them, and solutions required to remedy them.

He’s about to complete his first book, The Inevitable Path, that’s being shopped to U.S. publishers. And he has something worth reading: the step-by-step solution to America’s economic turmoil.

One of the fist steps Congress must undertake, Goff said, is to reenact the Glass-Steagall Act in its original form. Coincidence or not, Glass-Steagall worked for 66 years, but only 8 years after its 1999 repeal, the entire financial system collapsed.

“Repeal of Glass-Steagall allowed the self-regulate and self-correct philosophy of our financial and government “leaders” that led directly to the economic collapse,” Goff said.

There are six street-level changes providing a “three-year plan” to return America to economic stability. These solutions are proven methods to substantially restore the U.S. housing market---the nation’s most significant accumulation of wealth---and spur new development.

“The Inevitable Path focuses on practical, prescriptive changes Congress and bank regulators could undertake immediately,” Goff explained. “We can posture and point fingers for the next decade, but that won’t solve our economic dilemma.”* * *

What’s next For Baton Rouge Banker, Developer Pete Goff Jr.? Definitive Book on America’s Financial Woes to Include Solution

Baton Rouge - For the past three years, Baton Rouge banker, community developer and business owner Pete Goff, Jr., has been studying America’s economic crisis. He’s the first to call it an obsession.

Soon, he’ll call it a book---The Inevitable Path---that he promises will include definitive solutions to the nation’s economic woes. Goff is currently shopping the nearly-completed manuscript to major publishers.

“I’ve been in the trenches of real estate development and construction, and I’ve worked on both sides of the desk as a general contractor and lender,” Goff said.

“The current economic decline is an incredibly complex set of issues and our current path is a disaster,” he said.

Goff said the stakes are too high to fail.

“Unless we change what we are doing and how we approach the problem, we will literally change the world by default---by abandoning our role as a world economic leader, as a force for good, as a political and military power, and as a moral power,” he said.

Goff earned degrees in Accounting and Business Administration from Louisiana State University. He served as senior banking executive with Louisiana’s largest bank and principal of his own general contracting and community development business.

“I watched the economic collapse from the inside. I know the way out and I feel compelled to tell the story,” Goff explained.

Goff said he plans to complete the manuscript for The Inevitable Path before its June 1 deadline.
