Jerry Rosen is contemplating suicide in an Atlanta motel room. The country is in a deep recession. His business is losing money. His marriage is all but over.
Ever since he can remember he has been bombarded with advertisements to borrow and buy. Possessions and the success needed to attain them were the driving forces of his existence. Credit cards had been mailed to him without any request for them. The government was urging citizens to borrow and buy to support the economy. He had followed the recipe to the letter and all it had brought him were deep feelings of insecurity and fear: the fear of losing his family and his possessions. Was the Horatio Alger syndrome a pipedream foisted on the American public to keep them in lock step in the pursuit of the dream?
Questions and doubts bombard his brain like a swarm of angry bees. In search of answers, he begins a journey that takes him back in time. Streets Of Brass is a glimpse into the origins and reasons for the current economic crises.
