Description: The hero of this novel is obsessed with money. His father makes money in poker games and casinos. His mother marries again and squanders her small inherited fortune. A novel of hardcore economics where the sex was replaced with money, and the economy of an entire country goes insane without hope of recovery, a centrifuge created by inflation and financial irrationality.
