About this ebook

“I just finished reading ‘Looking for Hugh.’ I thought it was terrific! Not at all what I expected when I reluctantly picked it up, assuming it would be a dry-as-dust tract on the glory of capitalism,” Burt Prelutsky, conservative columnist and author of the Los Angeles Times’ best-seller Conservatives Are From Mars, Liberals Are From San Francisco.

“Leon has written a book that tells a fascinating story about Capitalism in an Orwellian style,” Kevin McCullough, radio host and commentator.

“I think it's altruistic and noble to try all means possible to restore American traditions of individualism, self-responsibility, and entrepreneurship. We're on the same side,” Herb Walberg, Chairman of the Board, The Heartland Institute.

“Seriously ... and I mean this truthfully and honestly ... it is a masterpiece. I had the same feeling about it that I had when I first met Winston Smith in Orwell's classic. ...I think it is a must-read for so many people today to understand what it is we in the ‘West’ are sleep-walking into. Unlike 1917 it is not the gun that brings it but gradual changes ...Bravo on a wonderful piece of work!” Phil Hendren of the London-based “Dizzy Thinks” political website.

"Leon Weinstein has masterfully and creatively written an adventure-fantasy which reminds me of both "Animal Farm" and "Alice in Wonderland." Ms. Terry Gilberg, Talk Radio Host.

I was lucky to live a truly fascinating life under different social structures. I was even luckier to escape from the Soviet Union after I came to the conclusion that socialism, in any form, leads to stagnation and degradation. I came to hate central planning, redistribution of wealth, and especially the huge, all-powerful state taking care of the small, insignificant me. I now know why socialism never works, and why capitalism works time after time—without government interference. I also understand why weak people like the idea of socialism, but the reality is very different from what they envisioned.

Personally I want to be in charge of my life, make my own decisions, and be free and do what makes me happy. And I want my children and grandchildren to be as free and as happy as I am. In short, I want to live in the U.S. of A and would hate to see it “fundamentally changed.”

And so I am dedicating this book to my newly adopted homeland. God bless this wonderful country of ours! God bless America!

Author

Leon A Weinstein

Leon Weinstein (September 17, 1949), born Leonid Alexander Weinstein in Leningrad, USSR (now St Petersburg, Russia). Playwright, theater director and producer, author of political articles and books, including “Looking for Hugh: The Capitalist guidebook” and “Capitalism 101: My Tea Party Principles,” and a co-creator of Limited Editions Fayums. I.Education and early years: Leon started his career in theater while in high school. He wrote several plays and staged them with students of nearby Theater College (LGITMIK), as well as produced and directed several short films with students and faculty of The Motion Picture Engineers College (LIKI). Leon studied in LIKI for 2 years until he was transferred to the Culture University of Leningrad from which he graduated with MA in Performing Arts in 1973. Staring 1968 Leon combined studies in the University with work as an assistant director on major film productions at the Leningrad Film Studio “Lenfilm” as well as continued to direct plays in student theaters, including award winning productions in LIIZHT. II.Emigration In 1974 Leon emigrated from the USSR to Israel, where he completed a pre-doctoral study at the Department of Dramatic Arts of the Ramat Aviv University, and in 1976 organized Educational Theater for Youth of Tel Aviv. He directed six of his own plays and was twice nominated for the Best Children’s Show of the year. In 1984-86 Leon staged two of his plays in the Jewish Museum of New York and at the Lincoln Center for The Performing Arts also in New York, and another play in The Los Angeles Theater Center in Los Angeles. In 1986 Leon was invited to organize programs for children & youth at The National Jewish News TV/Radio Network based in Los Angeles and permanently moved to California. III.Political activities: In Israel Leon was actively involved in electing of a right of the center Likud coalition into Knesset (Israeli Parliament). Starting 1989 Leon began to take active part in establishing ties between Post-Soviet Russia and his newly adopted homeland – the United States of America. In 1990 he initiated sister city relations between St Petersburg and Los Angeles and co-founded several companies with operations in both countries, including Trada Enterprises, LeoMar International and Weinstein Art Management (WAM), the latter was aimed at providing venues for artists from ex-communist counties to be seen and heard on the West. One of the projects Leon initiated was re-development of the famous Gorki Park of Moscow, and turning it into a Universal Studio type theme park. Leon is an author of numerous short stories published in American, Russian and Israeli periodical publications, and a variety of political articles defending capitalism for numerous Internet publications. In 2009 Leon published his first political novel “Looking for Hugh” and in 2011 his textbook-like “Capitalism 101: My Tea Party Principles.”
