Publisher's summary

You can't expect to win when the system is rigged.

Justin Wolfe sets out on a tour to promote The Big Solution, his book that outlines a simple economic platform that would turn a corrupt system on its head. Despite the urging from his best friend, Federal Reserve Board hopeful Evan White, Wolfe has no intention of running for office. But when his ideas begin to catch fire with the masses, the two friends find themselves swept up in a presidential campaign that threatens not only their public standing, but their very lives.

“Our world is remarkably automated. Resources remain in abundant supply. And by most standard measures, the economy appears to be humming along. Life should be so simple. So prosperous. And yet the vast majority of people still aren’t making a decent living. America’s promise of equal opportunity has become a distant memory. But I, Justin Wolfe, have a plan to finally change the dynamics that have been holding this country back. Imagine a simple idea that could change the world forever. An idea that will deliver us from this economic train-wreck and prevent further hardships from falling on the shoulders of future generations. Shouldn’t we get started?” (Justin Wolfe)

In a political thriller for the ages, Jarl Jensen achieves something no other author has achieved. He crafts an exciting story around disruptive solutions that would dismantle and rebuild our global economic system. Through vivid scenery, memorable characters, and intense drama, he encourages the reader to ponder hardline questions that challenge modern political punditry, shatter the “news-in-a-loop” cycle, and change the way we think about the distribution of wealth. In this way, this page-turning thriller is more than just a page-turning thriller. It is a means to optimize America, to spark hope for a brighter future, and to change the world forever.

Great Message

This book brought an idea to the economy that sounds realistic. I don’t know if it would work. I’d like to see a test. Perhaps a smaller country.
It ended too abruptly. I don’t see what grounds that would allow police to rush in to arrest a candidate on Election Day. I’ll listen to that part again.

Compelling Story and Intriguing Ideas

Finally someone has the wherewithal to figure out why the world isn’t getting better and why everyone works so hard but it all seems like a rat race. The story on audio is entertaining but I found myself thinking about the ideas in the book a lot more then the time I actually listened. Apparently the author isn’t done, there’s more to the series, I’ve signed up on his mailing list.
