The Age of the Gods

In 2050, the United States is mired in $300 trillion of debt. To shift the crisis onto someone else, Wall Street moguls devise a "perfect plan": They dress up a down-on-his-luck supermarket cashier as the Second Coming of Christ, stir up religious fervor with fake miracles, and use his presidential campaign to inflate a stock market bubble. Once they've cashed out at the top, they'll expose the fraud and dump the entire debt burden on the faithful.
