Jean-Cédric Michel’s thriller novel The Robin Hood Formula takes aim at one of the most mind-boggling aspects of modern America: the vast and widening gulf between executive compensation and the wages of ordinary workers. Framed around the startling statistic that a CEO may earn up to 6500 times the salary of an average employee, the book uses story as a medium for moral interrogation as much as for entertainment.
The story follows a group of gifted friends fromUSA’s Ivy League institutions who turn furious when they recognize the depth of this insanely outrageous and cruel economic gap. They form a team and come together to devise a solution to address it.
They know that when it’s time to deploy their solution, they must fight against and prevail a last battle with the powerful, deeply entrenched nexus between dirt-rich corporations and the heavyweights of America’s capitalist government, who would swiftly and effortlessly crush any remedial effort they find! Realizing that sagacity, not force, will be necessary to win the last step against the nexus, they devise a modern Robin Hood strategy to reclaim the unfairly gained wealth held by corporations and redistribute it to the workforce that was cheated.
Like a basketball player intending to shoot, they skillfully dribble past the enemy's defense until they are at shooting distance, and then successfully shoot the ball it into the basket above. However, victory isn't free and they suffer significant losses at the hand of the enemy before they finally prevail.
