"The world is in a recession and millions of people have lost millions of dollars. And just when things are about to get even worse, Quicklime College sets up its Summer School in New York to take control of the world's financial markets. Being witches and wizards, of course, the Floods are bound to do a better job than humans. Millions of people will probably lose millions more dollars, but it will all work out fine in the the end. Well, for the Floods, anyway. Hey, come on. They're witches and wizards, not some sort of charity"--Page 4 of cover.
