John Jones’s Dollar
Free preview

“The dollar may glitter—but who controls its shine?” — Harry Stephen Keeler In a future that takes capitalism to absurd extremes, a single dollar bill becomes the most powerful object on Earth. But when wealth becomes infinite, value vanishes—and society teeters on the brink of madness. John Jones's Dollar is a brilliant and biting satire that unravels the very fabric of economic logic, exposing the folly of unchecked financial systems and blind ambition. Told with razor-sharp wit and prophetic insight, this short but striking tale explores what happens when currency itself becomes a cult—and the world forgets what truly matters. A timeless allegory that resonates across economic cycles, Keeler’s tale warns: be careful what you invest in—it might be your soul.
