This book is a novel whose central theme is the unintended consequences of seemingly beneficent actions and policies namely the catastrophic consequences of massive government regulation.The effect of thousands of such regulations, and the ways in which they confer almost unlimited power on the regulators, is described in a series of seemingly unrelated, yet closely connected, incidents in the novel. The reader is repelled by the account of a mindless bureaucracy with power to ruin careers and imprison innocent victims almost without limit. Like the characters in the book, he will find his anger rising and want to take action. A must read for anyone who wants to learn in detail how a free economy deteriorates. A clean very presentable copy.
