Morning After

About the Book

Three retired friends gathered in one’s backyard and along bourbon and beer discuss politics in 2036 election year when People’s Interests Party, PIP, is to win second term in WH and huge majority in Congress. PIP wants to build a socio-economic system that will better serve interests of the majority starting with transferring ownership of means of production and capital from employers to employees. In their system, employees will compensate employers based on value of their companies at set date and pay it over a period of time from results of their running the business, just like one would pay off any loan. As owners, the employees now participate in running their businesses and decide how the wealth created is used following same principles valid for previous owners. In PIP’s system employees own equal parts of the company based on company’s value and number of employees while hierarchical order is maintained.

Social aspect of the world I lived in was always of great interest to me. Traveling the world a lot, I had opportunity to see lots of places.
