about the book
He has no money. He's never held elected office and he'll turn 35 just days before the election. No one knows him. He's a member of neither the Republican nor Democratic party and he knows no independent candidate has ever come close to contending for the White House. Despite this, he has decided to run for president.
He's running because he knows the country is hurtling toward unprecedented disaster that could see tens of millions Americans "out on their asses living in abject poverty not seen on such a large scale since the Great Depression." He's running because he knows the problem is bigger than either of the presidential candidates. He's running because true change is impossible until the American people demand their politicians address the root cause of the government's inefficiency and irresponsibility. He's running because he has a great voice, and because he knows he can save this country from itself... if he can get the American people's attention.
Run, which is narrated through a series of third-person media accounts, tells the incredible story of Noa Kalakaua's unlikely run for the White House. A must read for anyone who cares about the direction our country is headed, the book documents how Kalakaua, a Hawaiian economist from the University of Chicago, uses the American people's fascination with celebrity to mount a brilliant low budget campaign, to reinvent democracy, to inspire the American people to think, and to attempt to save a nation careening toward disaster.
