The book allegorically explores such topics as inflation, deficit spending, central banking, international trade, and the housing bubble and credit collapse of 2008. The Washington Times stated that the book "[conveys] the often intuitive ideas of economics through an engaging, fictitious story richly illustrated with amusing cartoons."[1]
