Synopsis

This book is the third part of a series that narrates the allegorical history of England from the reign of Queen Anne through the South Sea Bubble. This part of the story centers on the machinations of the fraudulent financial manager and Jacobite spy, Sir John Blunt, and his attempts to gain control over the Bank of England. The book explores the social, political, and economic ramifications of rampant financial speculation and corruption by satirizing real-life characters and events. Through its blend of humor and insight, this book offers a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked greed, the importance of sound financial policy, and the necessity of public accountability.
