Gingerbread Economy

Synopsis

Violent / Dangerous / Frightening / Vicious How long do you think you could survive in this environment? The western governments and their great economies had collapsed, the rule of law had broken, anarchy was pandemic and kill-or-be-killed became the only way to survive. But that was a decade ago. Now the survivors of a shattered and volatile world have learned to organise themselves, to rebuild from what they could salvage and to cooperate for the good of the many. In one small town, a skilled managerial leadership has emerged with a radical new currency and an iron fisted approach to law and order. They've stamped out crime, stimulated trade and generated hope in a landscape where violence and murder was an all too common way of life. But a chain of events has been set in motion that threatens to send the town into freefall, to destroy its economy and to turn the cooperative struggle for improvement into a vicious battle for survival.
