About This Book

The collection presents interlinked sketches—an imagined financial experiment, a fable, a pointed economic study, a life sketch, and a short vision—that examine money, labor, and social inequality. Through narrative vignettes and analytical commentary the author interrogates distribution of wealth, the law of wages, and how industrial systems treat workers as mere productive adjuncts whose pay covers only subsistence while the human being receives no surplus. Moral dilemmas, satirical scenes, and economic argument combine to prompt readers to reconsider assumptions about prosperity, labor’s share, and possible reforms.
