In her groundbreaking book, Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis and the Roadmap to Change, Hilarie Gamm explains why America is losing IT jobs to overseas workers and how political efforts to effect any meaningful change have failed miserably. From her position as an IT leader within one of the largest companies in its field, she provides a compelling argument against problem solving's limiting factors of what should be, could be, or might be. Rather, she bases her solution on what is.

These limiting factors are precisely why Hilarie Gamm sought anonymity and wanted to produce the following:

"… a book based on facts, with no political bias. I felt very strongly that this book should stand on its own merits, not be legitimized based on my educational pedigree, my professional experience, or any political preference, either real or imagined."

Hilary firmly believes in the accessibility to new ideas but worries about the current mindset that "negates the legitimacy of anyone who would promote new ideas through non-fiction book publication without promoting themselves." Her book provides steps to regaining the billions lost by sending IT jobs overseas that are prescient. She closes with her Road Map to Change: 20 actions that can reverse the trend, improve education, save the middle class, and return growth, security, and prosperity to America. Looking back on what got America into its IT nightmare were those with insular thinking, who only sought immediate solutions to problems without considering long-term consequences.

Billions Lost is an important work on not only the IT industry but also on the history of computing and the evolution of the tech industry. It is at once expansive and comprehensive, covering everything from how children learn to why educators feel that it is anathema for children to fail. The everyone-is-a winner mentality de-incentivizes American youth to employ hard work as a means to success. The iPhone, paradoxically, acts as a barrier to communication-whether it is on or off, its presence impairs a human being's ability to think, act, and communicate. The smart phone partners with the computer in dumbing us down by creating spelling and grammar deficiencies and the inability for young people to even sign their own names.

The 1990s Y2K end-of-everything fear, Microsoft's loss of $97 million in a lawsuit by temporary employees seeking compensation for the denied benefits of permanent employees, the short-sightedness of seeking cheaper technology employees overseas, visa reform, and other factors snowballed into today's crisis and started America down the road to losing billions of dollars in worker salaries, taxes, and addition to our GNP. Gamm connects the dots between seemingly disparate events and facts, and identifies the ramifications of outsourcing on our country and its profound impact on America's middle class.

Economist Maynard Keynes changed the existing beliefs on the causes of inflation and unemployment in 1936 with his book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. Nobel laureate Paul Samuelson taught students economic theory for over 30 years with his book, Economics, and he taught economists how to ply their trade with his book, The Foundations of Economic Analysis. Ronald Regan used his presidency to argue the benefits of "supply side economics," which asserts that economic growth can be most effectively created by lowering taxes and decreasing regulation. With her book, Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis and the Roadmap to Change, though not quite in that pantheon of economic minds, Hillarie T. Gamm could have a profound effect on a nation.
