Dave has been a heavy drinker for many years and has done all that he can to hide from the world. Being a regular he has grown close to two of the female bartenders that work at the bar, Tara and Kristi. He has been enthralled by Tara from the moment he got to meet her and has begun to question his drinking after a kiss they shared one late night. In getting to know Kristi, he wonders why she questions him on his drinking excesses. It is after an argument with Kristi over her concern for his well-being that Dave has his moment of clarity and finally decides that he needs to go back into his personal demons and discover the events that led him to choosing a life that was controlled by alcohol. It is on his journey through his soul that he understands the events of his life are not to blame for his choice and that facing your problems is a better solution than escaping them. It is through his self-discovery that he decideds to take a shot at life.

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 image.]
