The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
Winston Churchill
Tommy Morgan hit a home run straight out of college and landed a killer job with a private equity firm in Miami, Venue Capital. Tommy made more money than he ever imagined riding the melt-up triggered by the government’s run-it-hot policy. However, the recent increase in AI productivity is crushing the US job market and threatening to wreck the economy.
After already losing ground to double-digit price inflation and a burgeoning housing affordability crisis, American workers displaced by AI are facing even more dire circumstances. Most are living on government handouts, and many are facing homelessness. This constituency blames the current and prior administrations for its misfortune, which provides the perfect platform for Socialist Presidential Candidate Kendall Esperanza.
Esperanza promises national rent control, government-run grocery stores, free child care, single-payer health care, federally funded mass transit for all major US cities, and universal basic income for the unemployed, underemployed, and working poor, all funded by a massive wealth tax and a new levy on unrealized gains.
Esperanza leads the polls in the three-way race for the Oval Office, and the general partners at Venue Capital devise an exit strategy. Tommy is chosen to lead a team that will open Venue Europe to keep the company afloat. He is sent to Paris and feels happy to be away from the tension plaguing America.
However, when none of the three presidential candidates win sufficient electoral votes to secure the presidency, the contingent election vote goes to the newly elected House of Representatives. The popular vote and the candidate selected by the House are not in agreement, sparking massive protest across the country. The Socialists riot with several state governors supporting their cause. The uncertainty regarding the election and the future of America instantly triggers panic in the US debt market, initiating a massive sell-off in Treasuries. And since US bonds are such a large part of the Euro Zone’s reserves, the crisis spreads like wildfire, crippling the European banking system. Within days, the termoil spreads to Paris, where general strikes hamstring the supply chain and paralyze the transportation industry.
Tommy is trapped in a foreign country that, like the rest of the world, is coming unglued. His credit cards are canceled, the airports are closed, and he’s an unwelcome guest in a city that is devolving into utter chaos. If he doesn’t find a way home, he won’t survive the week.
Grab your copy today and experience the post-apocalyptic thriller you won’t be able to put down!
As with all works by Mark Goodwin, this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and references to Scripture, this book might not be for you.
