A Capitalist Christmas Carol

Donald R. Burleson

Tired of seeing Charles Dickens' traditional miser constantly condemned for the "crime" of loving to make money? Veteran storyteller Donald R. Burleson gives us a refreshing turn-around on the usual account. Here, businessman Edward Scrooch is troubled by the wishy-washy, bleeding-heart, fuzzy-brained delusion that there is something inherently evil about making a profit – until the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future take him in hand and turn him into a no-nonsense capitalist!
