John Stewart

The President (eBook, ePUB)

A Political Novel

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Arguing that an efficient economic system can be compatible with a fair share for all, this novel centers on a United States president who changes his mind about his policies. A deliberate parable about today's political wars, the novel illustrates the reforms posed by a real 19th-century figure, the American economist Henry George. Accordingly, this fictional reelection campaign provides a convenient stage for speeches and debates when the incumbent president goes missing-and returns with a platform for social justice that enrages those with vested interests and confounds his party operatives.
