Recovery and Rebirth: Book 3 of the Phoenix Agenda Trilogy

Ultra-rich men band together to destroy Wall Street-style capitalism to gain control of the largest and richest public companies to use them as instruments for solving global problems from climate change to the growing wealth gap between rich and poor in the world today. A political-economic thriller, the story is as current as tomorrows headlines of financial panics, inflation, energy shortages, mass human migrations, and the failure to deal with climate change by governments and companies. The Ancient and Honorable Society of the Phoenix, Book 1 of the Phoenix Agenda Trilogy, and the aftermath of the economic and global financial market collapse engineered by the Society sets off an economic storm threatening to take down hundreds of years of economic progress. The Phoenix Storm, Book 2, covers the aftermath, the start of a deep global recession bordering on depression that can't be solved by governments without the help of private companies to hire and invest. The story moves from the high end brothels of Thailand to the salons of Davos and a mountain top retreat in the Swiss alps where the plot was hatched. It traces the love affair between an American economist and an exiled Russian government economist both now caught up in the global conspiracy to destroy market-based capitalism replacing it with something new. The third book, soon to be released, Recovery and Rebirth, completes the story of how modern-day Wall Street capitalism, where individual self-interest is the key to market efficiency no longer works for everyone and must be replaced by something new, a cooperative capitalism, uniting the interests of owners, workers, and communities, to deal with the problems of wealth inequality, energy shortages, and climate change.
