Asses in Clover
This comical science fiction fantasy, written in the 1930s, offers a historical critique of politics, economics, social pretension, and globalization. The novel is the third in the Cuanduine trilogy, a series of science fiction works that challenge the "Procrustean remedy"-the adaptation of society to the paid employment system-and cite modern capitalism as the root of society's problems. In this volume Cuanduine, the mythical hero of this trilogy who is brought to earth to right the wrongs perpetrated by capitalists, turns his fury against the media, mainstream economists, and ordinary people who seek narrow, short-term, self-interested ends.

Author Biography: Eimar O'Duffy was an Irish satirist, poet, playwright, and novelist, and was the author of the Cuanduine trilogy and Life and Money. Frances Hutchinson is a research fellow at the department of social and international studies at the University of Bradford and is the author of The Political Economy of Social Credit Guild Socialism, The Politics of Money, and What Everybody Really Wants to Know About Money.
