The Shareholders

Description:

*Set in a sun-drenched Greek island taverna, this contemporary philosophical novel follows Ari, a seventy-year-old observer of human systems, and his diverse circle of friends — a skeptical British visitor, a leftist, a conservative captain, an anarchist, and others — as they debate the nature of governance, justice, responsibility, and citizenship. Through lively, Socratic dialogue, Ari unfolds a detailed blueprint for reimagining the state as a corporation, citizens as shareholders, and accountability as the highest virtue. Blending Mediterranean warmth with sharp political philosophy, the book challenges readers to examine their own assumptions about democracy, ethics, and the structures that shape our daily lives. It is equal parts taverna banter and constitutional design — ideal for those who believe that profound questions are best explored over wine, olives, and honest disagreement.*
