The Organisation - Croft, Trevor

. .

Résumé :
The Organisation is a fantasy set in a make-believe world of wooden sailing ships, horse-drawn carriages and soldiers in red tunics and tall hats. Although it is a fairy tale it contains no magic or talking animals and is not meant for young children. It is intended for grown-ups, particularly ones with inquiring interests in a wide range of contentious issues.. More details and brief notes about the author can be found in the book's website at trevor-croft.com A gold storage business is transformed into a very profitable bank when its owners find they can create paper money, and issue loans, without the need to back all their banknotes with gold. It transforms Areho into a flourishing kingdom. An association dedicated to protecting business interests is formed. To help obscure it from the public the association is not given a name, although to members of its innermost circles it is known as The Organisation. By secretly infiltrating all centres of power and influence, including the monarchy and the news media, The Organisation fulfils its goal, but astute members of its inner circles realise that the economic system they have created has a requirement of its own. It is an issue they cannot ignore.
