Cathal Haughian has offered up an articulate and exceptionally well researched premise: The age of capital is over. This "system" can not last. Infinite growth in a closed system is not possible or sustainable and Cathal has done the homework to prove it. This is the first book in the series of 3 and I would highly recommend that any thinking person read them all, multiple times. This volume slowly brings the reader to the understanding of how and why we are here. Written mostly in the Socratic method, the book often feels as though the reader is a "fly on the wall", listening to a conversation between individuals with more information and the ability to intelligently process that information. I've gifted copies as well, but be warned, you may blow someones mind.
