Scarcity Bites

Brian Evans is born with a special gift. The priceless endowment comes for free. Soon he enters a world dominated by scarcity. The future politician is introduced to the unyielding economic forces of supply and demand. The inexorable powers, facilitated by a scarcity shaped world, are center stage in this humorous economics oriented parable. Brian learns the painful lesson that scarcity is everywhere. The influence of scarceness cannot be circumvented, at least not in the long run. Then again, everyone knows what economists and non-economists alike say about the long run. Finally, an exciting alternative to downloading that ninety-minute snoozer of a movie prior to your next business or family journey. Now, you can delight in reading two hours of tongue-in-cheek economic irony. (Three plus hours, if you're a deliberate reader.) And seriously, who among us doesn't rejoice in economic irony. Downloading the twenty-one bite-size morsels of Scarcity Bites onto your electronic device will entertain you, while at the same time, stimulate your slumbering intellectual genius. Additionally, if you choose to buy the thin soft cover version in advance of your trip, it will add nary an ounce to the weight of your already stuffed travel bag. I don't use the term nary lightly. When I say nary, I mean nary. Many of you enjoy being a member of a book club, but don't have the time to read the "agreed to" five-hundred-page tome that your recently retired friends are suggesting for next month's gathering. So just like last month, you will have to fake it in order to participate at the next meeting, which you really only go to for the wine. Once again, it's Scarcity Bites to the rescue. The novelette is short, sweet and provides the same satisfaction as polishing off an entire pint of premium ice cream in a single sitting. Mmmm, that kind of satisfaction without all the calories? Those kind of opportunities don't come along every day. Suggest the hard hitting tale for an upcoming reading selection. It punches well-above its weight, which to remind you, will add nary an ounce to your over-stuffed backpack. My other works, "The Other Side of the Kneeler" and "Tempest's Arc", are also available here on Amazon.
