Full of humor and satire, The Dollartorium looks at the worst aspects of contemporary business culture, including marketing/advertising, value in money, hiring/firing, the entrepreneur, etc. But in the end the Dollartorium promises hope in the dignity of honest work and a healthy place in the community of others.

Pullins utterly skewers our era of death rattle capitalism. Like the great satirists before him, you don’t know if you should laugh or cry–or both. Fun read, fun ride. We might as well giggle on our way to ruin.”
—Joshua Mohr, author Unnamed Press
A boisterous and thoughtful journey through the absurdities of modern capitalism.

Like Orwell’s Animal Farm, Catch 22, and Gulliver’s Travels, Dollartorium is a deceptively simple story that belies the complicated truth of capitalism.

Beyond the surface, Ron Pullins’ mentally-stimulating novel Dollartorium advocates for a community-centered approach to growth and success rather than the pursuit of selfish individual desires. It emphasizes the restoration of values and principles centered on bringing our humanity to the fore through shared success, healthy relationships, and love for each other.

The novel closes on a note that is satisfying, though far from idyllic. That choice feels intentional. Pullins has more to say than a neat ending would allow. Through his characters, he gives voice to frustrations that have become commonplace, about inequality, exploitation, and the illusion of easy fixes. The odds remain stacked against the little guy, and the allure of grand, risky schemes proves hard to resist. Dollartorium captures that tension with clarity, humor, and an undercurrent of quiet anger that makes it linger after the final page.
