Cast Away for These Reasons

When a book has the subtitle ‘Economic Jihad’ – you know it’s going to be good, or at least mind bending. Jo M. Sekimonyo has tackled that task with aplomb in “Cast Away: For These Reasons,” a book composed in such a way that on one hand you’ll be laughing, even as the other hand searches through Google or a Dictionary if you are unfamiliar with specific Economic terms or theories. Confession; I knew much less than I thought I did – a fact that will probably be the truth for many who delve into these pages.
As a staunch Liberal, much of what Sekimonya said struck home, in both a philosophical vein and in the drier sense of snark and humor. When he strikes out at Capitalism, specifically the idea that there is any other idea beyond an economy that worships at the altar of Capitalism, he laments the fact that most people glance askance, chanting Marxism or Communism. I couldn’t help but laugh even as I nodded my head!
Wholly original and very thought provoking, this manuscript will change the way you view our global economy – and challenge everything you think you know.

Through the eyes of a world traveler that isn’t afraid of presenting his controversial points of views, you will.

A provocative, naughty and emotional, economic disparity dialogue! Cast Away: For These Reasons it’s a journey that will take you deep inside the non-conformist mind of Jo M. Semonyo, author and activist. Searching for a pragmatic way to ignite Economic disparity dialogues that go beyond the same blah blah blah, Sekimonyo pour his mind and heart out, creating an elaborate and almost intimate experience that will take you up and down through a mind challenging labyrinth to the dark side of political economics.

I began my own journey into this book expecting the typical table-style economic dissertation. Instead, I crashed into a pinch of narrative and a lot of sarcastic humor, mind-blowing perfectly coherent details about the current state of Capitalism and a window inside the mind of an activist fighting against inequality one letter at a time. Specific and realistic examples from around the globe and references to current events set this book apart.

I’m glad I jumped head first and give it a try. This book went beyond my presets. I can see how it will be part of great controversial debates from those who can’t let a different idea permeate their walls. The truth is, you don’t have to agree or disagree, you can simply listen. It is refreshing to do so when someone lets you see deep inside their naked mind.

A book for travelers, haters of poverty, lovers of controversy and money makers who are wondering what the heck is Ethosism?
