Excerpt from The Legends of Smokeover
The economic interest, concerned with the production of what the text-books call wealth and the Lord's Prayer daily bread, has to adjust itself as best it may to the political, submitting its accumulations to destruction, and contenting itself with what is left over, whenever the politicians go to war.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of four legendary tales, interconnected by the shared theme of revolution. Each tale follows a figure, or group of figures, who attempt to rise up against the societal norms of Smokeover, a city driven by industry and consumerism. The tales explore the degree to which a person can influence, or even change, the systems that govern us all. Through explorations of individuality, morality, spirituality, and economics, the book asks whether or not it's possible to create a place where the stars are more important than the smoke. The author shows that the momentum of a society and its institutions is a formidable force against which any individual must contend. Yet the book makes clear that the converse is also true: society itself would be nothing without the individuals who challenge it, thereby setting the stage for its possible transformation.
