Merry-Go-Round Broke Down: A Novel of Guilt, Greed and Globalization is a contemporary political and financial novel by David Woo and Margalit Shinar. Built around a hostage crisis at the Waldorf Astoria New York in Fall 2008, the book uses a thriller-like frame to examine how global markets, migration, ambition, and private choices connect people who appear to have little in common. Its structure is described by the publisher as nine linked parables spanning two decades and eight countries, with a cast that includes figures from finance, business, celebrity culture, environmental activism, and undocumented labor. The novel is not simply a story about the 2008 crisis, although that moment gives it urgency. Its purpose is broader: to dramatize globalization as a chain of human consequences rather than an abstract economic process. Woo, a former global macro strategist, brings financial and geopolitical fluency to a fictional form designed to make systemic interdependence emotionally legible.
