Opis

Polo ... Game Changer invites the reader into the glamorous world of the super rich playing polo, the "Sport of Kings." Love and hate the power brokers; those who play polo as an end in itself, and those who play polo as the means to win at bigger games. Experience polo from behind-the-scenes, polo pony preparations, and up through the play of the match with top polo pros and their patrons. Watch the play of the winner-take-all polo match where the Plutocratic greed and One World hidden agenda of Rolf Lambert try to end-run both the commitment of Edward Arundel FitzAlan's American heritage class to protect polo, and Clayton Moran's New Information Age economics. See how Rolf Lambert tries to cheat with a high tech polo game changer he opts to use against the advice of his polo pro. Discover how Rolf's daughter-in-law becomes the ultimate game changer in Rolf's bigger game of a One World, Globalocracy. Be amazed at a business journalist intent on understanding Plutocratic wealth.

Polo ... Game Changer is the third book in a trilogy of political novels by Chase Baldewyn. Written before TrumpÕs campaign and election, the trilogy provides insight to how Donald Trump would be elected. The trilogy is based on ethnographic research on billionaire families in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The novelÕs protagonist, Rolf Lambert, a billionaire plutocrat like Trump, attempts to control the media to promote his revised business using polo while building a hidden power base to privatize government and create a globalocracy. Lambert manipulates journalist, Alicia Woodson, to promote his business, but at storyÕs end Woodson is faced with the dilemma to either expose the truth or protect Lambert by lying, similar to dilemmas potentially faced by TrumpÕs staff. LambertÕs conflict with other billionaires leads to a polo game matching patriotism and fair play against LambertÕs self-serving business interests and his desire to win at all costs using a game changing gimmick.
