A love story that embraces the business and economic issues
of the day? The Invisible Heart takes a provocative look at business,
economics, and regulation through the eyes of Sam Gordon and
Laura Silver, teachers at the exclusive Edwards School in
Washington, D.C. Sam lives and breathes capitalism. He
thinks that most government regulation is unnecessary or
even harmful. He believes that success in business is a
virtue. He believes that our humanity flourishes under
economic freedom. Laura prefers Wordsworth to the Wall
Street Journal. Where Sam sees victors, she sees victims.
She wants the government to protect consumers and workers
from the excesses of Sam's beloved marketplace. While Sam and Laura argue about how to make the world a
better place, a parallel story unfolds across town. Erica
Baldwin, the crusading head of a government watchdog agency,
tries to bring Charles Krauss, a ruthless CEO, to justice.
How are these two dramas connected? Why is Sam under threat
of dismissal? Will Erica Baldwin find the evidence she
needs? Can Laura love a man with an Adam Smith poster on his
wall? The answers in The Invisible Heart give the reader a
richer appreciation for how business and the marketplace
transform our lives.
