What happens when a dead humorist discovers that modern economics makes less sense than hermit crab behavior?
In this wickedly satirical masterpiece channeling Will Cuppy's observational genius, we trace humanity's greatest organizational achievement: the perfection of systematic irresponsibility. From Ancient Greeks who invented democracy as a spectator sport to modern AI systems programmed with the biases of their corporate creators, this is the definitive guide to how everyone became responsible for nothing.
Discover: - Why strawberry plants are better economists than actual economists- How the Circle of Blame makes everyone complicit while no one accountable- Why housing shortages exist alongside empty properties (spoiler: it's profitable)- How daily bread became a complex financial instrument- Why the revolution will not be algorithmized- The eternal tug-of-war between human nature and inhuman systems
Featuring guest appearances by Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Medieval theologians, Renaissance geniuses, Industrial Revolution profiteers, and various other practitioners of organized chaos-plus appreciations by William Blake and G.K. Chesterton on why systematic absurdity has become humanity's most successful export.
A savage journey into the heart of systematic irresponsibility that makes 'Catch-22' look like a training manual for rational behavior. -Hunter S. Thompson
