J R Gaddis William
A National Book Award-winning satire about the unchecked power of American capitalism, written more than three decades before the 2008 financial crisis.At the center of J R is J R Vansant, a very average sixth grader from Long Island with torn sneakers, a runny nose, and a juvenile fascination with junk-mail get-rich-quick offers. Everyone from the school staff to the municipal government to the squabbling heirs of a player-piano company to the titans of Wall Street and the politicians in Washington will be caught up in endlessly ballooning bubble of the J R Company. Responding to one, he sees a small return; soon, he is a running a massive Ponzi scheme out of a phone booth in the school hallway.
It is also a book about suburban development First published in 1975, J R is an appallingly funny and all-too-prophetic depiction of America's romance with finance.
