Description: Abandoned as an infant, Jim Trewitt finds little affection for anyone or anything, except his own self-advancement. After a chance encounter with Adam Smith, Jim decides to put his faith in the free market, becoming America's first laissez-faire capitalist. Soon his path to riches becomes entangled with that of an educated slave, who knows from experience that one person's profit is another's loss. From Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Bruce Norris comes an epic parable about the cost of inequality. -- Publisher's description
