About This Book

This work blends speculative fiction and social-political argument, alternating visions of inhabited planets and a domestic narrative about a family to illustrate economic critiques and reform proposals. It presents an angelic vision that frames money as an idol and examines the power of trusts, unemployment, and the moral cost of concentrated wealth, then sketches an alternative wealth-producing and distributing society intended to secure employment and prosperity for industrious citizens. Episodes set on planets such as Herschel and Venus dramatize social lessons, while chapters mix prescriptive ideas, storytelling, and calls for collective action to counter monetary domination.
