This comical science fiction fantasy, written in the 1930s, offers
a historical critique of politics, economics, social pretension,
and globalization. The novel is the third in the Cuanduine trilogy,
a series of science fiction works that challenge the "Procrustean
remedy"--the adaptation of society to the paid employment
system--and cite modern capitalism as the root of society's
problems. In this volume Cuanduine, the mythical hero of this
trilogy who is brought to earth to right the wrongs perpetrated by
capitalists, turns his fury against the media, mainstream
economists, and ordinary people who seek narrow, short-term,
self-interested ends.
