THE GREAT HEIST

Predatory subjugation based on economic status is nothing new in the annals of history. From the beginning of time, the greatest discriminatory factor of one person or group of people over another has been based on material wealth. In ancient and not-so-ancient times, there was nothing subtle about the wealthy ruling supreme. In many societies, the class structure is clear with little chance of upward mobility. Capitalism arose out of medieval Europe, and as it evolved, it appeared to hold hope for a more economically just world. Even at the time of the American Revolution, capitalism appeared to be a liberating force for the new nation. This book, the first of three, focuses on how capitalism and the Industrial Revolution unleashed a predatory force that swung the pendulum of economic justice in a direction contrary to a nation of, for, and by the people. While this book is historical fiction, the events and impact of such events are real. Social justice cannot exist without economic justice. A people can not enjoy the fruits of freedom and liberty without the economic wherewithal to do so. For all the good intentions of this great nation, the wealthy have been allowed to pervert the entire notion of equality. In this book, you will discover how wealth was used to control and manipulate people in power, as well as the general public. At the turn of the twentieth century, the great heist began in earnest. And while capitalism and the free enterprise system appear worthy of a great nation and people, it is through the corrupt underbelly that the wealthy rule supreme.
