In the glittering world of ethical business, four men gather on a luxury yacht in Rotterdam. A Swiss arms dealer with a soap foundation. A Dutch fat trader who inherited whaling fortunes. An investor in eco-brands with a washed conscience. And a chocolate maker who filmed African smiles but never asked if they tasted his product. As they sip champagne and praise their own virtue, an invisible guest watches.
It is Erasmus of Rotterdam, author of "In Praise of Folly, " returned to witness modern hypocrisy at its finest. Through sharp Socratic dialogue, this philosophical satire peels away the layers of corporate responsibility, fair trade, and philanthropic camouflage to reveal the greasy truth beneath. What happens when justice becomes a brand? When soap washes hands that pull triggers? When chocolate sweetens mouths but not consciences?A parable for our times.
A mirror held up to those who profit from poverty. A stone thrown at the ship of comfortable lies. For readers of Voltaire, Erasmus, and anyone who has ever wondered why the rich always smell so clean. Satyre. Humor. Politics. Philosophy. And one man with stones.
