| Annotation | The novel begins in 1994 in a dystopia in which the military is used to control the poor and the poor are then enslaved. The U.S. produces very little that can be exported; an import tax supports the government and makes imported goods expensive. The U.S. has adopted primogeniture, and estates go to the eldest son. The solution, in about 2014, is to abolish serfdom, re-establish the original U.S. Constitution, and become a free trade nation. |
