Divided into five sections, “The Kite and the Kingdom” uses a conversation between father and son as a springboard for a philosophical discussion examining human progress – both economic and social – and proposes different methods for resolving financial crisis and making the world a better place to live.
Kram’s messages are concise and intense. His no-nonsense, accessible format offers readers the chance to look at economics, capitalism and the current recession in a new light. Although the characters are fictional, their dialogue is thought-provoking, well-researched and relevant to current events. Gain a deeper understanding of gross domestic product and the role it plays in the worldwide economy in the pages of “The Kite and the Kingdom.”
Lo Kram has a bachelor’s degree in engineering and a master’s degree in finance. He also holds a degree in international business law and a master’s in township management from the University of Paris. He has traded billions of dollars worth of commodities.
