A novel and ambitious idea, but it all descends into a somewhat shallow tale in the end. The subject is the idea of a global economic transformation to share wealth better. The people about to propose the concept are murdered on their way to a major international conference of the rich and powerful.
What follows though is a series of chases and lucky escapes as bits of the theories are explained via farmers' fables. There are many unrealistic ingredients, including coverage of the way a global conference is run, the haphazard police efforts and the presence of many all-powerful mystery players. At the end, of the assassins and other culprits, we hear no more.
There are virtually no characterisations, so the reader feels a bit empty and/or unaligned, despite a general hope that the good guys prevail.
Eventually, the core economic message is announced at the conference and the book just stops. So there you have it: neither an overly engaging thriller, nor a world-changing economic model to adopt.
