A Capitalist Carol transforms Charles Dickens? A Christmas Carol
into a 21st Century tale of American capitalism as seen in the life
of near-billionaire, former Governor Edward Rouge. Rouge is a
prot?g? of internationally renowned economics professor Jonah
Farley, a leading developer of Reaganomics, the basis of
Capitalism-20. Farley died in 2010, having lived to see the Great
Recession. His ghost visits Rouge who is the head of the US
delegation to the 2012 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Then three
Spirits reveal to Rouge his own conflicted family history and the
difficult realities of American and world economic development.
Woven into the events is a summary of a solutions-based blueprint
for Capitalism-21, as provided in the Nehemiah Papers that are
discussed at the Earth Summit. Unlike the joyous ending of Dickens?
tale, the conclusion of A Capitalist Carol is perplexing and more
thought provoking. [Link to Preview selection is below cover
