At the center of the novel is a hilarious eleven year old—J R—who with boyish enthusiasm turns a few basic lessons in capitalist principles, coupled with a young boy’s lack of conscience, into a massive and exploitative paper empire. The result is one of the funniest and most disturbing stories ever told about the corruption of the American dream.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Misc","offer_id":45268666941591,"sku":"9781564784339","price":1422.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781564784339.webp?v=1769236350","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/j-r-9781564784339","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
