Empowered: How One Girl Scout Nearly Destroyed the World's Economy

Overview

Amaryllis is determined to win her Girl Scout troop's cookie-selling contest, but she'll need more than charm to win first prize (a unicorn!) and avoid last place (which means getting kicked out of the troop!). So when sales droop, she naturally turns to the financial sector for advice. Soon she's faking a terminal illness, franchising her methods, and contracting with a payday lender to offer 30-year loans for cookies. An hysterical homage to Glengarry Glen Ross and send-up of the wild excesses of the financial crisis.
