Corpalism

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Under Thatcher and Reagan the powerful elites closed the factories in the West and sent the jobs to the third world. They did this because in the West they have to provide minimum wage and an acceptable working environment. In the third world they can employ slave labour in horrendous working conditions and no-one cares. Then they ship the produce to the west where they charge high prices and gain high dividend returns. In this way they have transferred the wealth of the masses and nations to their own offshore banks. That is how the thieving 1% has stolen the world.
The story of how the 1% are stealing the world Corpalism is a dark and exciting exploration of a dystopian future wrought by unchecked corporate greed.
The book is in five parts; the timeline moves back and forth 20 years, using inter connected characters and storylines. Situational humour serves to lighten the mood and the characters range from the cynically evil, through the surprisingly likeable to the positively evangelical.
The first part is based in an economically dystopian future, a fast-paced thriller that moves in a believable way between fact and fiction, the second part plunges the unsuspecting reader into the distressed mind of Stephanie White a political activist from the new Independent party and victim of the latest terror atrocity locked in a coma fighting a trivial persona her mother has imposed upon her through years of brainwashing, whilst the third has several characters, including Stephanie and Donald from the previous volumes, in a pub arguing various topics from various points of view; the reader being left to decide which is valid. Part four brings all the threads together and the final part is set 20 years in the past.
