Infos

Everyone has their own idea of how things should work, but with a little inspiration from David Beckham, aliens, and the starry skies of his native Indian Ocean island, Gaston Le Clezio thinks he's figured out the perfect plan to save the world from socioeconomic injustice fueled by rampant capitalism. Years later, in a pitch to a local council in Australia, his friend Patrick calls it FAIR-Formula Advancing Income Revolution-and the concept is simple. Pay all workers the same income, and offer bonuses to those who make a positive difference on society's progress and wellbeing. What could complicate that? Fame, romance, political ambition, greedy developers, corrupt officials, and depraved priests in Gaston's home village all seem to conspire against them as they navigate the volatile arenas of public policy and human nature with thought-provoking insight and bawdy humour. In the end, it's not a question of finding one solution for all the world's problems, but of deciding what is fair and what is feasible. At times farcical, Gaston Saves the World posits a formula for a better world where good triumphs over evil and true love conquers not all, but most.
