Beskrivelse
They're trying to kill Bruce Benson. If he wants to survive, he'll have to save Vain Capital from itself.
Portraying a world of political correctness run amok, Investing in Vain is a modern satire that distills the follies of our time with memorable one-liners, jarring juxtapositions, colorful images, and deadpan humor that will have you laughing out loud.
When Bruce Benson, a nerdy quantitative analyst at Quandary Capital, stumbles upon the last great secret for beating the stock market, his entire world is turned upside down. Forced to flee, he assumes the guise of a transgender to work at Vain Capital, a Washington firm promoting morality-based investing to its self-righteous clients. There he joins buxom Alison Hartswell in her frustrating search for gay money managers to help re-elect the self-serving governor of California. How does Bruce then become entangled in an international power struggle that threatens to ignite World War III? Why are agents of the U.S., Russia, and Quandary Capital out to get him?
Transgender investment managers, Russian skullduggery, asset managers catering to the latest in social umbrage, and the absurd mystery underlying the ultimate stock market anomaly form elements of this riotous tale of financial markets, politics, and modern mores. Find out whether Bruce can save the day for everyone-in high heels.
