Fantopia
James Gibb Stuart
£3.95

ISBN: 0-947621-13-X
size: 64p. p/b

A cartoon-illustrated allegorical tale explains how the present public financing system is wrong, and offers an alternative -- but without resort to confusing "economist" jargon.

James Gibb Stuart's Fantopia has the down-to-earth directness of Adam Smith. It reminds us that since the days of Smith and David Hume Scotland has been the repository of much of the common-sense and talent that contributed so disproportionately to Britain's greatness. With much literary grace it sets out as a parable the case for monetary reform. All bases -- the persistent ignorance of the politicians, the amenability of the media, and the omnipresent tentacles of financial power -- are portrayed with irresistible understatement. A dry-as-dust but terribly vital subject is transformed into a highly readable tale.
