...story traces Maddox's rise to Governor from small-time proprietor of the Pickrick fried chicken chain ("Happy white folks at my tables, happy nigras in my kitchen"), his successful bid for the presidency in 1973, and his war against Russia, in which he personally exterminates everybody but himself-even his pal, God, whose place he is only too happy to fill...
Barriers to Bigness. Doing that will not be easy. Beyond doubt, black capitalism today is meager. Though Negroes constitute 12% of the U.S. population, they own scarcely 1% of the country's 5,000,000 private business firms. One out of every 40 white Americans is a proprietor, but only one Negro...
Many things can happen in John Earth's funhouse, but getting lost is not likely to be one of them.

For the workers, he is likely to offer some form of effective participation in the management of the plant, perhaps through strengthened worker-proprietor councils. For the students, he almost certainly will offer a far greater voice in university affairs, plus such reforms as a full-scale modernization of the curriculums; easier entry for children of lower middle-class and working-class parents (presently only about 10% of the university population); an exam system...
